Designed by: Afra & Tobia Scarpa
Manufactured by: Tacchini
Basilan represents one of the most original moments in the design research of Afra and Tobia Scarpa, combining material exploration with construction techniques that were unprecedented in Italian design in the 1970s. A modular rattan framework, enriched with metal details and leather bindings, functions as structure, ornament and spatial definition. The material becomes a narrative element, carrying the memory of the hands and gestures that wove it, transforming the chair into an organic and tactile expression. The woven surfaces seem almost to come alive, achieving a delicate balance between visual lightness and structural solidity. Originally produced by B&B Italia in 1975.&nsbp; Manufactured by Tacchini.
