Carlotta
A stylish, minimalist outdoor armchair designed for
the younger generation that invites the spontaneity typical of a day to be
enjoyed outdoors. In 1967, Afra and Tobia Scarpa crafted a chair that speaks to
an active, dynamic generation. The result is a comfortable, innovative design
armchair that conveys practicality and comfort at first sight. Simple and yet
sophisticated with its elegant system of joints and woven cord supports,
Carlotta is perfect outdoor seating for casual comfort, thanks to its cushions
padded with recycled PET fiber.

Tobia Scarpa |
Architect and designer Tobia Scarpa graduated in 1969 at
the University of Venice and in the same year won a “Compasso d’Oro” prize for
his “Soriana” armchair designed for Cassina. He has since been awarded many
other design prizes and many of his designs can also be found on show in some
of the world’s key museums, including his ‘Libertà’ chair on show at the
Louvre.As an architect he has worked for both public and private clients
including the Benetton Group for whom he famously designed the industrial area
and production plants in Castrette di Villorba (Treviso). Even today, the
Benetton facilities are still held up as an example of aesthetic-functional
excellence, one of the world’s most exciting pieces of industrial architecture. |
