Giuseppe Scapinelli. Sofa in Caviuna's wood, 4 seats, c. 1950
About the Item
Four-seater sofa in solid Caviuna wood, recently redone tapestry in unbleached linen. The finesse and sinuousness of the wooden round section legs and armrests marks the elegance of the style of Giuseppe Scapinelli, one of the greatest Brazilian designers of the 20th century.
All in light curves, the structure softens the shape of the rectangular seat and backrest, giving an impression of floating to this large sofa. The additional originality of this piece lies in the back of its particularly worked backrest where Scapinelli plays with wood as a sculptor.
What makes it a sofa whose advantage is that it can be centrally placed in a space, and highlighted regardless of the angle from which it is seen, which shows the level of attention and ingenuity that its designer was capable of.

- Giuseppe Scapinelli, Nesting Tables, 1960By Giuseppe ScapinelliLocated in PARIS, FRAs usual, Scapinelli distinguishes himself with these nesting tables "gigogne" by the elegance of the lines and the finesse of the realization. Made of solid wood (probably Pau marfim, one of his favourite species), the light and graceful base combined with the glass of the tops gives the whole an airy aspect reinforced by the dynamism of the three pieces. Provenance: Private Collection - Brazil. Born in 1911 in Modena, Italy, Giuseppe Scapinelli is a versatile artist. An architect, painter, ceramist, sculptor and designer, he constantly reinvents himself in search of beauty, whatever the medium. In the post-war context, with his diploma in architecture obtained in 1941 and his immense imagination in his luggage, he organized his departure for Brazil in 1948. In 1950, he founded his own architectural firm in Sao Paulo, where he enjoyed success and rubbed shoulders with high society. A perfect Italian dandy, bon vivant...Category
