Carlo Scarpa For Simon 'Cornaro' Sofa In Velvet

Product Details

Product Description

Carlo Scarpa's 'Cornaro' sofa is a striking representation of Ultrarazionale style, which liberates Rationalism from its stringent confines. The result is a sturdy sofa with a stained wooden frame and a one-unit cushion fixed to the corners. This particular version of the sofa is upholstered in plush royal blue velvet, lending it an opulent appearance. The seat's cushions are thick and plush, enveloping the sitter in comfort, while the armrests and backrest are comparatively slender. The handcrafted mahogany basket that holds the cushions in place adds to the sofa's weight and grandeur, offering a protective cocoon to anyone sitting on it. Carlo Scarpa was a legendary architect, celebrated for his exquisite craftsmanship, impeccable attention to detail and wizardry with light. He completed 58 architectural projects in his career, including the awe-inspiring Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, Olivetti showroom in Venice, and Brion Tomb in San VIto d'Altivole. His artistic vision, rooted in a blend of Japanese minimalism and organic shapes from nature, is evident in his designs infused with rich decorative elements and handcrafted details. Please note that the images featured depict one of the many ways in which this sofa can be customized to suit individual preferences.
