Orseolo table by Carlo Scarpa for Gavina, 1970s
The Orseolo desk is one of the most iconic pieces of Italian industrial design, created by Carlo Scarpa in 1972 for Dino Gavina’s “SimonCollezione” collection. This piece represents a perfect synthesis between Scarpa’s monumental architecture and the functionality of modern furniture. Although mass-produced, it requires the highest level of precision in its construction to ensure that the joints are millimeter-perfect. The name “Orseolo” is a tribute to a historic Venetian family, confirming Carlo Scarpa’s deep connection to his city and its history.
