CARLO ZEN (Italian, 1851 – 1918)
From 1880, Carlo Zen, the world-famous Italian Cabinetmaker directed the most crucial furniture workshop in Milan. He was active in the Stile Floreale, which had continued after the 1902 Turin ‘Espozicione Internazionale d’Arte Decorativa Moderna’; to be known for his Art Nouveau and Symbolist motifs. Zen was not a designer himself but instead a factory owner and manager. From 1898, his firm was associated with Haas of Vienna, whose designers included Otto Eckmann (1865 - 1902), known German painter and graphic artist who was a prominent member of the "floral" branch of Jugenstil (German Art Nouveau movement); and who became for creating the ‘Eckmann typeface’, which was based on Japanese calligraphy and medieval font design.
Carlo Zen maintained his prominence by manufacturing furniture based on Art Nouveau and symbolist motifs that appealed primarily to feminine tastes. Using inlays of mother-of-pearl, his artisans’ elegant, often asymmetrical patterns became more geometric towards 1910 and showed the simplification typical of German and Austrian forms. Zen, who understood how the Stile Floreale could be influenced and nurtured by foreign designs, remained one of the more skillful Italian manufacturers of the twentieth century.
