a refined, playful and modern vision
Harmony
Afra and Tobia Scarpa were the first to animate the Henry glass doors with their experience in the world of glass, and their passion for art and life, a passion that was cultivated in the heart of the Venetian countryside, a place accessible only by a weaving and rough dirt road. To protect it, a solid shell was made that contrasts with the surrounding nature: a villa-lab with modern rationalist architecture – seemingly impenetrable, just like its inhabitants.
But once inside, it seems to open up another world. One of the two architects is in a great study with rough walls and windows overlooking the tall grass, because it must be said, their own ideas become natural with a huge pencil drawing on a table, rather than on paper.
Unique pieces of blown glass, bound together to create profiles of leaves and flowers, skies and stars, simple but rich of primordial wonder. Fragments of light where the glass becomes the landscape and the lead-bound their boundary.
