About This Piece

Vintage Design

Art Deco Murano Glass Wall Lamp by Carlo Scarpa Venini, 1930s Elegant pair of Art Deco style wall lamps designed by Carlo Scarpa for Venini in the early 1930s, a perfect example of balance between material experimentation and formal purity. Each wall lamp is composed of a blown Murano glass lampshade with a transparent and milky finish, which diffuses the light in a soft and atmospheric way. The chromed metal frame emphasizes the rationalist taste of the time, giving brilliance and a modern touch to the composition. The compact and geometric proportions make these lamps perfect for entrances, corridors, living rooms or environments in vintage and rationalist style. A rare example of historical Italian lighting, signed by one of the greatest masters of twentieth-century design. Dimensions: Height: 15 cm Width: 15 cm Depth: 14 cm Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with very light signs of age.

About the Creator

Carlo Scarpa

Born in Venice in 1906, Carlo Scarpa studied architectural design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. After graduating in 1926, he taught architectural drawing at the Academy, where he held multiple posts throughout his life. At the same time, Scarpa launched his career as an industrial and interior designer, creating multiple designs for Venini Glass Works in Venice. His most recognized pre-war project, however, was the 1935 restoration and renovation of the School of Economics at the University of Venice. His post-war commissions consisted primarily of historic building renovations, interior remodeling, and exhibition installations, often revealing the influence of Art Nouveau, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Josef Hoffmann.

Scarpa’s architecture is characterized by a great sensitivity to the changes of time. Important projects include the Canova Plaster Cast Gallery in Possagno (Treviso) (1955-1957); Olivetti showroom in Piazza S. Marco, Venice (1957-1958); and the Banca Popolare di Verona, which Scarpa began in 1973, and which was completed after his death by Arrigo Rudi.

He created multiple landscape, garden, and building designs across Italy, as well as in Canada, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and France. He died in Japan in 1978. He is buried, fittingly, in the Brion Tomb complex in the San Vito d'Altivole (Treviso) cemetery—a 1969 Scarpa design that some call his most important work.
