Carlo Scarpa "Samo" Oval Table for Simon Gavina, 1971

About the Item

Carlo Scarpa "Samo" oval table for Simon Gavina, white Carrara marble, Italy, 1971. The Scarpa's way of thinking the architecture is particularly visible in this piece. The “Samo” dining table, designed in 1971 for 'Ultrarazionale' collection by Simon Gavina, consists of two grooved solid Carrara marble pillars and a single floating oval white Carrara marble tabletop. The table explicitly shows strong architectural features in the pillared base. The solid oval marble top is an example of the use of gravity based techniques as the weight of the oval marble balances perfectly on the pedestal base. Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) was one of the most important and influential architects of the 20th century. He has been influenced by the materials, landscape and the history of Venetian culture, and by Japan. Scarpa translated his interests in history, regionalism, invention, and the techniques of the artist and craftsman into ingenious glass and furniture design. Our atelier carefully restored the table. Slight signs of use and time.

  • Carlo Scarpa "1934" Dining Chair for Bernini, 1977, set of 6
    By Bernini, Carlo Scarpa
    Located in Lonigo, Veneto
    Carlo Scarpa "1934" dining chair for Bernini, walnut and reddish brown leather, Italy, 1977, set of six. Initially designed for Scarpa's own Venetian house in 1934, this model came up to production only in 1977. This chair demonstrates his architectural attitude toward furniture design. The sophisticated and right-angled base contrasts with the backrest essentiality, further enriched by its curvaceous shapes. A remarkable detail is an open cut on the back that diverges at the bottom, resulting in an unusual yet genuine form. Although an apparent disharmonic look is created, these details enhance the chair's elegance. We can do custom restoration and special reupholstering. Our atelier guarantees the excellence of Italy through the traditional art of craftsmanship. We do offer a dedicated customization service thanks to our team of expert craftsmen and artisans.
