Item description

In 1967, Afra and Tobia Scarpa worked on a session dedicated to a lively and dynamic generation. The result is a comfortable and innovative design armchair, which communicates practicality and comfort at first sight. Simple and refined with its refined joint system and the intertwining of support ropes, Carlotta is an ideal furniture for informal comfort thanks also to the padded cushions. Born in Venice in 1935, Tobia Scarpa is the son of the famous architect Carlo Scarpa. Together with his wife Afra, Tobia began working in the Venini glass factory in Murano in the 1950s. In 1960 the couple opened their own design studio in Montebelluna, and soon worked together with large companies such as Flos, Cassina, B&B Italia, and Knoll. reading, and uses new materials and cutting-edge technologies. Their design style embraces a resolutely modern aesthetic, whose priority is elegance and comfort, and the pair's products are above all admired for their simplicity and elegance, which makes them easy to combine with more classic designs. Cassina Spa is an Italian company operating in the contemporary furniture sector, founded in 1927 in Meda by Cesare and Umberto Cassina. The main activity is woodworking, within the company, for the production of coffee tables. Over the years the company expands, especially after the war, also thanks to collaborations with external architects who bring their expertise and research. In the 1950s, Cassina switched from artisanal to serial production, adopting the logic of industrial design. A change also induced by the commission for furnishings for the interiors of large cruise ships. In addition, some of the company's best-known products took shape during this period: chair 646 and chair 699, known as the "Superleggera", both designed by Gio Ponti.
