Silvio

December 29, 2018 by eliemme

Since the 30’s Silvio led the family company “Cavatorta” which was established in Rome in 1869 by his father Eugenio Cavatorta. The company used to produce its exclusive series furniture, dictated by a cosmopolitan interest which made their works unique, rare and aesthetical. While most designers embraced the industrial methods of production the Cavatorta company remains truthful to its own standards, rejecting large and industrial production in favor of fine material and craft.

In 1960, along with Tobia Scarpa, she opened her own design office in Montebelluna. Together, they designed for several companies such as Gavina, B&B Italia, Cassina and Meritalia while collaborating with Benetton clothing company to design the firm’s first textile factory. Among their notable works we can highlight the sofa “Bastiano” (1961), the sofa “Coronado” (1966), the armchair “Soriana” (1968) and the chair “Libert” (1989). They also designed the “Papillion” lamp for Flos, one of the first lighting designs to use halogen technology.
