Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978)
Carlo Scarpa left behind a unique and complex body of work in the fields of architecture and design. Born in Venice, Scarpa initially studied architecture at the local Accademia di Belle Arti. His intensive involvement with the medium glass began during the late 1920s when he worked for the Venini glass manufactory. Under Scarpa's influence, the reorientation of Veninin towards modernity took place. In 1932, he was hired as the artistic consultant by Paolo Venini. Until 1947, he worked closely with Venini and created more than two dozen designs for the company. The results of Venini’s and Scarpa's cooperation was presented during the 1930s and 1940s at important exhibitions such as the Milan Triennale and the Venice Biennale. Through Scarpa’s pioneering innovations in the fields of technique, style and colors, he modernized the tradition of glassblowing.
