Elegant, essential and contemporary
The architect Carlo Scarpa is one of the most representative Italian figures of the 20th century. For us, one of our main references. Elegant, essential and contemporary, his style of work is absolutely recognisable and has been widely paid tribute to.
His years prior to working as an architect in Murano glassworks such as Cappellini and C and Venini, are reflected in his projects in the attention to detail and in the work of materials with incredible delicacy and perfection.
His unmistakable style is characterised by the combination of materials, the purity of form, and the harmonious coexistence of ancient and modern elements, bringing the past into the present.
Scarpa’s legacy includes the restoration of historic buildings such as museums and palazzos, as well as homes, monuments and public buildings. One of the most emblematic and visited is the Olivetti shop in Venice. The floor, the staircase, the treatment of materials… We love the way it remains modern, despite the passing of the years.
We share the search for excellence, the importance of attention to detail and the way of combining materials. The way to turn the past into something contemporary.
Elegante, esencial y contemporáneo
El arquitecto Carlo Scarpa es una de las figuras italianas más representativas del siglo XX. Para nosotras, uno de nuestros principales referentes. Elegante, esencial y contemporáneo, su estilo de trabajo es absolutamente reconocible y ha sido muy homenajeado.
Sus años previos a trabajar como arquitecto en cristalerías de Murano como Cappellini y C y Venini, se reflejan en sus proyectos en la atención por el detalle y en el trabajo de los materiales con una increíble delicadeza y perfección.
Su inconfundible estilo se caracteriza por la combinación de materiales, la pureza de las formas, y la armónica convivencia de elementos antiguos y modernos, que acercan el pasado al presente.
El legado de Scarpa incluye la rehabilitación de edificios históricos como museos y palazzos, además de viviendas, monumentos y edificios públicos. Uno de los más emblemáticos y visitados es la tienda de Olivetti de Venecia. El suelo, la escalera, el tratamiento de los materiales… Nos encanta cómo se mantiene moderna, a pesar del paso de los años.
Compartimos la búsqueda de la excelencia, la importancia del cuidado del detalle y la manera de combinar los materiales. La forma de hacer del pasado algo contemporáneo.
