Carlo Scapra made a name for himself in the post-World War II period through major installations, particularly in Venice: the Paul Klee exhibition for the XXIV Biennale, the 1950 Art Book Pavilion, and the Italian Pavilion at the XXVI Biennale.
In 1932 he began working with VENINI, becoming its artistic director until 1946. A long period during which he left an indelible mark on the world of the Furnace, for the design of models that have gone down in history and for the search for the most refined techniques.
For these and other historic Italian design furniture follow our SECOND YOUTH gallery, we offer custom research and restoration services.
