This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
 Known as the Frank Lloyd Wright of Italy, Carlo Scarpa reshaped the forms used by Paolo Venini and influenced all 20th century glass making with his “Modern” designs, new color coatings, and new techniques.
He gave up glass design during WWII to devote his talents to architecture.
Scarpa is considered the “brand name” in investment quality collectable glass. His son Tobia designed the successful Occhi series for Venini and continues as a well-known furniture designer.
