About the Item

Model "Foglio" wall lights designed by Tobia Scarpa for Flos. Structure made of brass and composed of two bulb each sconce. Tobía Scarpa (Venice, 1935) & Afra Scarpa (Montebelluna, 1937 - Treviso, Italy, 2011) The marriage of designers Tobía and Afra Scarpa is considered one of the great references in Contemporary design. Currently, the unique pieces of Tobia & Afra Scarpa can be found in museums in the United States and Europe, including collections at the MoMA and the Louvre Museum. Designer, architect and son of recognised Italian designer Carlo Scarpa, Tobia Scarpa began his artistic career with his wife, Afra Bianchin, in 1957, working as designers at the Murano Venini glass factory. It was in 1960 when the couple opened their own Design Office in Montebelluna (Treviso) and actively participated in the creation of the Flos lighting company, designing their first models with Pier Giacomo Castiglioni.

Mid-Century Chrome "Foglio" Sconces by T. Scapra for Flos, Italy 1960s Lighting
By Tobia Scarpa, Flos
Located in Roma, IT
Wonderful mid-century first production chrome "Foglio" sconces in fabulous conditions. These iconic lamps were designed by Tobia Scarpa and produced by Flos in Italy during the 1960s. 3 pieces available. The Foglio (meaning 'sheet' or 'leaf' in Italian) is composed by a thick curved sheet of chromed steel with a white enameled interior and two lamp holders. They come wires and tested, compatible with both US and EU / UK standards and use two E26/27 light bulbs. The way these lamps spread the light is poetic and incredibly elegant. The perfect lamps to complete a midcentury modern living room.

Scarpa graduated in architecture from the University of Venice in the 1950s, together with his wife and collaborator Afra. His first assignment as a designer was for Venini, a renowned Murano glass company. Starting in 1957, Tobia and his wife also began working together in the field of architecture, and devoted much of their work to the delicate restoration of historic buildings. They are also known for their sober approach to design, aimed at the luxury market. The Foglio lamp...
