Carlo Scarpa extendable oak dining set

Among Carlo Scarpa’s last designs, this set in solid oak marries a modernist geometry with playful construction. Ebonised crossbars provide support to the extendable table and four high-back chairs, creating a distinctive rounded profile with pleasing symmetry. A flip top and sliding mechanism enables the table to extend to double the original width.

Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) was an architect who mastered materials, detail, and light. His poetic constructions, largely clustered around Venice, are distinct in their execution of detail and narrative allusion. He produced a limited body of furniture designs after meeting Dino Gavina in the 1960s, but is most famous for the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, the Olivetti showroom in Venice and the Brion Tomb in San Vito d’Altivole.

The table has been restored to good vintage condition, with some light water damage to one leg. The chairs are in great vintage condition with minimal scratches.
