Collection: Afra and Tobia Scarpa

Tobia Scarpa was an Italian designer who set with his wife Afra, one of the most successful and well-known professional studio up.

Together they sign many innovative projects on the industrial design scene. From 1957 to 1961 Tobia worked as a glass designer at the Murano glassworks of Venini, and then in 1960 the two artists opened their own design office in Montebelluna. In 1964, they collaborated with Benneton clothing company to design the firm’s first textile factory. 

From their first collaborations as husband and wife in the mid-1950s until the present day, their pieces have incorporated new technologies, while still maintaining history, form, and function.
