Carlo Scarpa For Simon 'Cornaro' Sofa In Mahogany And Jade Velvet

Product Details

Product Description

Carlo Scarpa's 'Cornaro' sofa from 1973 represents the Ultrarazionale style in its redefinition of Rationalism, resulting in a design that boasts a sturdy structure in stained mahogany, with a unit side and back cushion being held together by frame corners. Its thick cushions give it a luxurious appeal, especially when upholstered in the striking jade velvet fabric. The relatively slender armrests and back contrast with the substantial seat, creating a shell-like enclosure for the sitter. Scarpa, known as a master of detail and a materials connoisseur, applies his aesthetic language to this design, which straddles Japanese minimalism and organic forms of nature. Although the item is pre-owned, our skilled artisans in the in-house restoration atelier can revitalize the piece with reupholstery, ensuring it maintains its value and longevity. Contact our design experts to explore your options, with local reupholstery being an alternative.
