1975 – 1992 · AFRA AND TOBIA SCARPA
When the collaboration with architects Afra and Tobia Scarpa began in 1975 with the idea of designing a new collection of luxury furniture, from an entrepreneurial standpoint, the decision was against the mainstream that most companies were following, with artificial materials very popular. Choosing to use a natural material was, instead, reminiscent of the Scandinavian idea of “organic” design, revisited by Scarpa. The wood used to make Maxalto products is in fact a “transformer” material that is processed to show its unexpected characteristics and formal qualities.
