DESCRIPTION

AFRA SCARPA (Montebelluna, 1937 - Treviso, 2011) & TOBIA SCARPA (Venice, 1935) for MAXALTO.
Table "Artona", 1975.
Wood.
Measurements: 210 x 155 x 35 cm.
The "Artona" series is one of the most coveted and sought after by the Scarpa couple. It is characterized by the magnificent finish of its woods, as well as by the delicate treatment of the brown leather that covers and completes the pieces. This bookcase has a structure with simple and rounded compartments. Two spaces are enclosed by beveled glass with leather handles on the left and right.
The brainchild of B&B Italia, Maxalto is a company that bases its design proposal on wood as a primary material.
Tobia Scarpa's beginnings were as a glass designer in Venini's Murano glass factory, until in 1960 Tobia and Afra decided to open their studio. Among their clients were Gavina, B&B Italia, Cassina and Meritalia. In 1964, they collaborated with the Benetton clothing company to design the firm's first textile factory. Afra and Tobia Scarpa were in charge of the interiors of the company's offices in Paris, Fribourg and New York.
Afra and Tobia Scarpa have received from the Compasso d'Oro in 1969 to the International Forum Design in 1992. Their furniture has been featured in articles in magazines such as L'ŒIL, and between 2004 to 2007, the couple collaborated on numerous restoration projects for historic buildings such as the Palazzo della Ragione in Verona, Italy. Since 2002, Tobia has been teaching in the Department of Design at the Università Iuav di Venezia in Venice, Italy. Some of Afra and Tobia Scarpa's designs can be found in institutions such as the MOMA, the National Museum of Design in New York, the Philadelphia Art Museum, the Louvre Museum or the Victoria and Albert Museum, among other institutions.
