Sculptural elegance

Geometric austerity encounters enveloping padding in this sofa designed by maestro Carlo Scarpa in 1973.

PRODUCTION YEAR

2024

Designed in 1973 by Carlo Scarpa, Cornaro is distinguished by its unique material and structural contrasts. The geometrically austere base embraces the soft seat. The enveloping padded elements that form the backrest, seat and armrests are nestled in a sculptural wooden structure. The sofa’s proportions have been updated, increasing their height and depth, through in-depth research and development work carried out in close collaboration with Tobia Scarpa. Every detail was meticulously curated to highlight the original aesthetic of the model, like the exposed thin black saddle leather laces contained inside a grommet developed to simplify connecting the backrest to the structure. Cornaro is available as an armchair, sofa, or a two- or three-seat end element.

 

Carlo Scarpa

I CONTEMPORANEI

From architecture to works in glass, from design projects to preparing museum exhibitions, the work of Carlo Scarpa has always stood out in the unmistakable way in which it manages to bring together his love for materials, his attention to detail and his masterly elaboration of organic and Wrightian poetics. Architect, designer and artist, Scarpa left the Venice Academy of Art in 1926 and began professional work, but continued to visit craftsmen’s’ workshops and Venetian master glassworkers. For twenty years, right up until the second half of the Forties, he received numerous commissions to design, convert prepare buildings.
