Born in Venice in 1935, Tobia Scarpa is one of the most influential figures in postmodern Italian architecture and design. He is known for his focus on material exploration, a curiosity-driven experimental process, and the rigor and imagination he brings to every project - from bookcases to buildings. In a career spanning more than six decades, he has created a body of work of extraordinary breadth and beauty - encompassing furniture, lighting, interiors, architecture, restoration, and glassware. He could be called a one-of-a-kind, were it not for the fact that he spent 50 years of his career working in equal partnership with his wife Afra Scarpa, with whom he shared a remarkable personal and professional bond. Together, they created a shared legacy, which Tobia Scarpa continues to build on today.
