Factory Bench by Mingardo

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

Factory bench by Mingardo Dimensions: D 86 x W 32 x H 46 cm Materials: RAL 9005 black varnished iron structure and satin natural brass details Weight: 7 kg Also available in different finishes. The finesse of the artisan is met with the practicality and directness of the working factory, forging a series of living objects to serve as highly adaptable utility. The series of objects draws on the beauty present in the robust and highly functional structures of purpose built utilities found throughout a working factory. Many of which built by workers to aid a process and withstand constant use and stress. with such forms derived through necessity alone, honest poetic forms are generated. The Factory Series structural premise is understated though highly adaptable offering many uses within a fluctuating living or commercial application. The common three or four leg frame trope is exchanged for a T construction, allowing the object to appear mobile and inviting graphical application to the space.

About the Creator

Carlo Scarpa

Born in Venice in 1906, Carlo Scarpa studied architectural design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. After graduating in 1926, he taught architectural drawing at the Academy, where he held multiple posts throughout his life. At the same time, Scarpa launched his career as an industrial and interior designer, creating multiple designs for Venini Glass Works in Venice. His most recognized pre-war project, however, was the 1935 restoration and renovation of the School of Economics at the University of Venice. His post-war commissions consisted primarily of historic building renovations, interior remodeling, and exhibition installations, often revealing the influence of Art Nouveau, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Josef Hoffmann.

Scarpa’s architecture is characterized by a great sensitivity to the changes of time. Important projects include the Canova Plaster Cast Gallery in Possagno (Treviso) (1955-1957); Olivetti showroom in Piazza S. Marco, Venice (1957-1958); and the Banca Popolare di Verona, which Scarpa began in 1973, and which was completed after his death by Arrigo Rudi.

He created multiple landscape, garden, and building designs across Italy, as well as in Canada, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and France. He died in Japan in 1978. He is buried, fittingly, in the Brion Tomb complex in the San Vito d'Altivole (Treviso) cemetery—a 1969 Scarpa design that some call his most important work.
