Carlo scarpa cornaro armchair manufactured by cassina sculptural elegance a favourable balance between geometric rigour and enveloping shapes designed by maestro carlo scarpa. The cornaro armchair celebrates the encounter of two opposites gracefully resolved between the sculptural wooden structure and the generously padded cushions set within it. Every detail embodies cassina’s fine craftsmanship, starting with the exposed black saddle leather laces contained inside a grommet developed to simplify connecting the backrest to the structure. The proportions have been updated, increasing their height and depth, through in-depth research carried out in collaboration with tobia scarpa. Laces in exposed black saddle leather contained inside a grommet developed to simplify connecting the backrest to the structure. Padding recycled pet fibre and elements made of polyurethane with a percentage of polyols derived from biological sources and in circularrefoam®. Structure base in beech with glossy lacquer finish or ash with open-pore matte lacquer finish. Originally a sofa designed by carlo scarpa in 1973, cornaro celebrates the graceful encounter of two opposites: on one hand, the geometric rigour of the base that embraces the seat, on the other, the generous padding in the seat cushions set within a sculptural wooden frame. The balance of contrasting shapes defines an armchair in which every detail was meticulously curated to highlight the original aesthetic of the model, like the exposed thin black saddle leather laces contained inside a grommet developed to simplify connecting the backrest to the structure. Cornaro is also available as a sofa and a two- or three-seat end element. The proportions have been updated, increasing their height and depth, through in-depth research and development work carried out in close collaboration with tobia scarpa.
