The Cornaro collection, designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1973, is characterized by the contrast between the geometric structure in solid wood and the large padding, which offers a perfect balance between formal rigor and comfort. Its sculptural design embodies Scarpa's architectural approach, combining solidity and hospitality. The collection includes armchairs and sofas, maintaining the elegance and refinement typical of his works.
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.
Carlo Scarpa
From architecture to glass, from design projects to museum installations, Carlo Scarpa's work always stands out for the unmistakable trait with which he manages to combine the love for materials, attention to detail and the skilful elaboration of Wrightian and organic poetics. Architect, designer, artist, Scarpa left the Venice Academy of Art in 1926 and began working as a professional, at the same time maintaining contact with artisan workshops and Venetian master glassmakers. For twenty years, until the mid-1940s, he received numerous commissions for the design of buildings, renovations and installations.
