Afra and Tobia Scarpa Having graduated from architecture school in Venice in 1969, this couple worked together for 50 years and helped start some of the companies that truly made Italian design. Their long lists of works include houses, factories, city neighborhoods, new buildings, restoration projects, various objects of design, andirons for fireplaces, weather vanes, jewels, golf clubs, glass vases, wine labels and many chairs. Afra and Tobia Scarpa not only designed things, they dictated behaviors. Fifty years of work that makes up a world that explored Italian culture and picked up on its social and economic dynamics but never gave in to the seductions of the moment or fast fashions. The work of these two interpreted transformations and needs and helped in starting some of the companies that truly made Italian design. They promoted collective projects like the Carlotta armchair, which was a forerunner to the Ikeas of today, or the Soriana armchair, which was offered in a different way so it could be used in a freer way in our homes. In the 1970s, there were the Benetton stores (one store opened around the world per day), which offered a different relationship among the product, consumer and manufacturer. The stores didn’t have a front window (it was the store itself on display) and there was no cash desk. The relationship with the customer was open and transparent and never servile. Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s experience changed the history of architecture and design in Italy and abroad.
