Biography
Afra (1937–2011) and Tobia Scarpa (b. 1935) are among the most celebrated Italian design duos, known for their ability to combine elegant proportions, material integrity, and functional innovation. Their collaborations with Flos in the 1970s produced lighting pieces that balanced architectural presence with refined industrial details. The Copricorno floor lamp exemplifies their sophisticated approach: a slender aluminium structure with a geometric, sculptural profile that interacts subtly with light and space. Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s work continues to be internationally recognized for its timeless modernity and precise craftsmanship.
