1940s Carlo Scarpa Wall Light
Italy, 1940s.
A rare and refined piece by Carlo Scarpa for Venini, this wall lamp pairs sculptural restraint with luminous detail. Featuring a fluted glass shade with a distinctive creased texture, its form is both structured and soft—diffusing light with quiet elegance. The glass is held by a painted metal and brass mount, creating a subtle contrast between transparency and solidity.
An iconic expression of mid-century Italian craftsmanship, this piece captures Scarpa’s architectural sensibility and Venini’s mastery of glass.
