Italian postmodern designer duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa were particularly interested in the technical and aesthetic possibilities of materials, a pursuit that emerged in their designs. Afra and Tobia Scarpa is a famous Italian designer couple. Tobia was born in Venice in 1935 and is the son of Carlo Scarpa, the no less famous architect. Afra Bianchin, for her part, was born in 1937 in Montebelluna. Their professional career began in Murano in 1958, where they worked for Venini in the glass field. In 1960, Afra and Tobia opened their design office. They collaborate with many publishing houses such as b&b italia, knoll, cassina and flos. Their creations, always comfortable and with a modernist aesthetic, are made from very diverse materials. The couple does not hesitate to use new technologies. In 1970, they won the Compasso d'Oro thanks to their Soriana armchair, published by Cassina. Among the great successes of the designer couple, we can count the Coronado and Erasmo sofas, the Papillona floor lamp. Their creations are present in the largest international museums
