Originally a sofa designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1973, Cornaro celebrates the graceful encounter of two opposites: on one hand, the geometric rigour of the base that embraces the seat, on the other, the generous padding in the seat cushions set within a sculptural wooden frame.
The balance of contrasting shapes defines an armchair in which 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 also available as a sofa and a two- or three-seat end element. The proportions have been updated, increasing their height and depth, through in-depth research and development work carried out in close collaboration with Tobia Scarpa.
I MAESTRI
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.
