Studio Inspiration: Carlo Scarpa

Happy New Year!  After a little break traveling and visiting family and friends, I am excited to get back in the studio, for new adventures in 2015 and a new collection I am working to debut soon!  With that in mind, in the coming weeks I will be posting little sneak peaks into what I've been working on and looking at lately.

A friend recently introduced me to the work of Italian architect Carlo Scarpa (1906 – 1978).  The forms, details and use of materials in his work are particularly gorgeous - I think I am going to need to visit some of his work to make sure it's as beautiful in person.
