	From architecture to works in glass, from design projects to preparing museum exhibitions, the work of Carlo Scarpa has always stood out in the unmistakable way in which it manages to bring together his love for materials, his attention to detail and his masterly elaboration of organic and Wrightian poetics. Architect, designer, and artist, Scarpa left the Venice Academy of Art in 1926 and began professional work, but continued to visit craftsmen’s’ workshops and Venetian master glassworkers.		For twenty years, right up until the second half of the Forties, he received numerous commissions to design, convert prepare buildings. Scarpa worked for a long period with Dino Gavina, designing a series of furniture pieces for Simon of great formal elegance, some of which, such as the Doge table (1969), will endure as telling interpretations of his way of understanding design, always planned and constructed as if the works were a pieces of architecture.
