About the Item

Tobia Scarpa Eitie Triangle Horizontal Lamp For Cassina A horizontal pendant light designed by Tobia Scarpa, that takes shape as a seemingly simple structure with sophisticated, innovative technology, available in two sizes. Each element is composed of three luminous lines that can be joined to form various compositions, thanks to circular black metal connectors embellished with silver details that contain cutting-edge technology hidden in their interior. Each luminous line can be rotated 360 degrees to adjust its position and the brightness of the light. MATERIALS Pietra Serena, aluminium, brass. A family of eye-catching lamps, inspired by a wall installation designed by Tobia Scarpa, that emerges from a seemingly simple structure and sophisticated, innovative technology. The concept for Eitie, a palindrome in tribute to Scarpa’s age and his extensive experience in the world of design, elaborates upon the idea of a luminous line that, thanks to unique circular connectors, is expressed in various configurations. Starting with the original work, part of the Benetton Foundation Research Centre, Cassina has revisited the distinctive wall-mounted lighting system to produce a pendant light, a table lamp and a floor lamp that form a visually exciting collection. Each element is composed of two or three luminous lines that can be joined to form various compositions, thanks to circular black metal connectors embellished with silver details that contain cutting-edge technology hidden in their interior. The joints of the table and floor lamps can be opened 30 degrees, to the right or left, to create different visual effects, while the triangular wall-mounted version is stationary. Each luminous line can be rotated 360 degrees to adjust its position and the brightness of the light. This lamp is wired for Europe, if used in US or any other country the client will need to convert it.

Tobia Scarpa

Widely recognized as superstars of postmodern Italian design, husband-and-wife team Afra and Tobia Scarpa (1937–2011; b. 1935) collaboratively created chairs, sofas and other furniture that work equally well in both traditional and cutting-edge environments.

Afra Bianchin and Tobia Scarpa met as architecture students at the Università Iuav di Venezia. In a class led by architect and furniture designer Franco Albini, they created their first collaborative piece, the Pigreco armchair, later produced with Gavina. After graduating in 1957, Tobia Scarpa worked for Murano glass company Venini & Co. before the couple opened a studio in Afra’s hometown, Montebelluna, in 1960. (Tobia, the son of famed glass artist and architect Carlo Scarpa, was born in Venice.)

Ranging from architecture and interior design to furniture and clothing, the Scarpas’ practice from its beginnings in the mid-1950s to the 21st century has included a diverse scope of projects combining new technology with thoughtful function and sculptural yet simple forms.

For Afra and Tobia, a close collaborative process was pivotal to the success of their designs. The duo was also prolific — they designed for the most influential European manufacturers, including B&B Italia, Cassina, Knoll and FLOS. With respect to the latter, Afra and Tobia were among the legendary Italian lighting maker’s earliest collaborators, and their pioneering designs for the brand included the Papillon lamp, one of the first fixtures to use halogen technology. Their most recognized designs include the Bastiano sofa (1962), the Vanessa bed (1959), the Coronado sofa (1966) and the Soriana seating collection (1970). Work on the Soriana sofa began in late 1969 for an early 1970 debut, and it feels as radical today as it did in its heyday.

Architecture was also a central part of Afra and Tobia’s practice, which spanned residential buildings and factories for Italian companies such as Benetton. Their commissions for the global fashion brand included numerous industrial projects, from textile plants to storefronts. By 1985, Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s work was celebrated in a 30-year retrospective at Center Four in Queens, New York. Looking around the 30,000-square-foot exhibition space, Afra joked to the New York Times, “Seeing all those things makes us feel very tired, and now we feel that maybe we worked too much.”

It was not too much for their legacy, as Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s work continues to inspire new generations. Scarpa designs are in collections at the Louvre, the Museum of Modern Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum. The couple was awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1970 for the Soriana armchair.
