Designed by Afra & Tobia Scarpa in 1969, Carlotta is an outdoor armchair with a fresh and essential character. Its structure, composed of four frames and a sophisticated system of joints and interlocking pieces, expresses Cassina's craftsmanship excellence, while the hand-woven support ropes lend visual lightness and informal comfort.
Cassina
Cassina was founded in 1927 in Meda (Milan) by Cesare and Umberto Cassina, inaugurating industrial design in Italy in the 1950s. The brand's identity is found in an original union where technological aptitude is closely linked to traditional craftsmanship. Cassina maintains its ancient heart, the carpentry, the linchpin of all its workmanship. It is characterised by a transversal culture of absolute quality, which makes each Cassina piece unique.
Afra & Tobia Scarpa
Tobia and Afra Scarpa have marked Italian design with a perfect balance between craftsmanship, innovation and aesthetic research. Trained at the IUAV in Venice, they collaborated with industry icons such as Cassina, Flos, B&B Italia and Molteni. Among their most famous creations, the Soriana armchair (Compasso d'Oro 1970) and the Coronado sofa. In addition to design, Tobia has curated architectural projects for Benetton and restorations of historic buildings. Their works, exhibited in the most important museums in the world, continue to inspire contemporary design.
