Tobia Scarpa / Portrait |
An architect in the more sophisticated sense of the term, as well as a precocious designer, in his long partnership with Afra Bianchin he has created some of Italian design’s best known icons. His keen interest in manufacturing processes, technological and formal innovation and, most of all, his ongoing quest for new uses of materials, have become hallmark features of Italian design itself. His designs, which combine tradition and innovation, are consummate statements of how creative freedom can be harnessed to rigorous method. |
