Product Description

The 'Torcello' sideboard in walnut and aluminum, created in 1964 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Stildomus, is a true gem in the world of furniture design. Stildomus is known for its commitment to marrying industrial processes with artisanal quality, and this piece is a prime example of that philosophy. The rich, warm walnut exudes a cozy ambiance, while the rounded edges lend a soft, gentle touch to the overall design. The elegant aluminum handles add a rhythmic element to the front of the cabinet. Afra and Tobia Scarpa, revered Italian architects and designers, are renowned for their postmodern style. They met while studying at the Venice Institute of Architecture and married shortly thereafter. Tobia's experience as a glass designer at the Murano glassworks of Venini and Afra's astute eye for design led to their collaboration, which quickly became a major success. Throughout their illustrious career, they designed for leading companies such as B&B Italia, Knoll, and Flos Gavina, winning numerous accolades such as the Compasso d'Oro and the International Forum Design. The Scarpa's creations are beloved for their modernist aesthetic, prioritizing elegance and comfort, while also incorporating elements of classical design. Their deep understanding of materials is evident in each piece they crafted, which can now be found in esteemed museums worldwide.
