A rare example of the 'Tessuto' series designed by Carlo Scarpa ca. 1940. Manufactured by Venini Murano Venice. Thin vertically fused glass threads in alternating turquoise, milkwhite and black. This example was manufactured in 1988. Venini model number 524.02. Incised signature 'venini Carlo Scarpa 1988' on the base. Carlo Scarpa (1906 - 1978) was one of the most important architects of Italian modernism. Like his role model Frank Lloyd Wright, he was a follower of organic architecture. Scarpa worked with the M.V.M Cappelin Glassworks from 1925 to 1931 and for Venini from 1932 to 1947. His designs characterize the 20s and 30s in both companies. In the early years he created especially light blown glass designs with geometrical forms. Since the 1930s he moved to designes with heavy submerged (sommereso) glasses. Further design ideas from his signature were presented at the 19th Biennale d'Arte in Venice. Carlo Scarpa explored the interaction of glass and light in his works. Several well known glass techniques such as murrine (patterned glass made from rods), penelatte (glass with brushstroke decoration), inciso (glass with cutted lines) and battuto (beaten glass) characterise his objects. In 1961, Carlo Scarpa created a large light installation with modular polyhedra in the form of free fall for the World Exhibition in Turin. artfour is an owner-managed trading company dealing with fancy pieces of Murano and Scandinavian art glass.

Few architects have shown more attention to detail (Detailers) than the Venetian Carlo Scarpa whose career was constantly influenced by the pursuit of perfection in the architectural details that he designed. The small intervention in the Palazzo of the Fondazione Querini Stampalia is a good example of this.
