Carlotta armchair by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Cassina

Dezeen Showroom: Italian furniture brand Cassina has reissued the Carlotta armchair, designed by husband-wife duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa in 1967, for its outdoor collection.

Tobia Scarpa collaborated with Cassina to reimagine the Carlotta armchair in durable, weather-resistant materials.

Carlotta armchair
The armchair was originally designed in 1967

The revamped design features a low-slung teak frame and cushions padded with recycled PET fibre.

"Carlotta has an informal, carefree soul with an ample and welcoming seat," Cassina explained.

Woven cords are threaded into a linear pattern across the chair's backrest, functioning as both support and subtle decoration.

Carlotta is available in a range of outdoor fabrics from Cassina's collection, which are able to withstand a variety of weather conditions.
