Afra & Tobia Scarpa, born in 1937 and 1935 respectively, were Italian architects and designers whose partnership shaped the landscape of postmodern design. Both graduates of the Università Iuav di Venezia, they married and opened a design office in Montebelluna in 1960. Renowned for their innovative use of materials and deep respect for craftsmanship, they created iconic works such as the Bastiano sofa, Coronado sofa for B&B Italia, and the Soriana armchair for Cassina—awarded the Compasso d’Oro. Their holistic approach to design spanned furniture, interiors, lighting, and architecture, leaving a lasting influence on global design.
