Informazioni sull’articolo

Stunning pair of “Artona” bookcases designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Maxalto. Crafted entirely from ebony plywood with solid rosewood accents, they feature leather-covered doors and handles, along with tempered glass panels. These pieces are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship that defined Maxalto’s early production in the late 1970s. Rarely found as a pair, these are two separate and distinct elements, making them extremely versatile within any interior layout. Whether placed together or used independently, they offer both aesthetic presence and functional elegance. Overall in excellent vintage condition with only minimal signs of age, especially remarkable considering they are nearly 50 years old.

Afra Bianchin Scarpa (1937–2011) and Tobia Scarpa (born in 1935) worked together both as a couple in life and in their profession, forming one of the most prolific and influential duos in 20th-century Italian design. Both graduated in architecture from the Iuav University of Venice, where they studied under notable architects such as Carlo Scarpa (Tobia’s brother) and Giuseppe Samonà. After their studies, they began working together in Carlo Scarpa’s architectural and design studio, where they developed their unique and sophisticated style. Their collaboration led to the creation of numerous iconic projects in furniture and interior design, often characterized by timeless elegance and meticulous attention to detail. Their work was produced by world-renowned brands such as B&B Italia, Cassina, and Flos.

Their legacy continues to influence generations of designers and design enthusiasts around the world.
