\nCoinciding with <\/span>Venice<\/a>\u2018s 19th <\/span>International Architecture Biennale<\/a>, Edra furnishes the Fondazione Querini Stampalia with its contemporary collection, marking a significant new chapter that elevates the <\/span>museum<\/a>\u2018s historic and evolving cultural landscape. This renewal, inaugurated on May 5th, 2025, under director Cristiana Collu and commencing on the symbolic birth date of its philanthropic founder Count Giovanni Querini Stampalia (1868), aims to elevate the Foundation as a key reference point for the Italian and international art scene. Within this historically rich context, elements from the Edra Collection establish a harmony with the Foundation\u2019s architecture and cultural orientations.<\/span><\/p>\n Absolu sofa by Francesco Binfar\u00e9 inside the Riva Botta area | all images by \u200b\u200bPietro Savorelli, courtesy of Edra<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Since 1987, Edra has maintained a precise philosophy centered on producing comfort, elegance, and performance with superlative quality. Rooted in Tuscany, <\/span>the company<\/a> deeply integrates the region\u2019s timeless aesthetic and traditions into its very essence. Its design language stems from profound and long-term experimentations led by its diverse authors, leading to products conceived for lasting relevance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This core principle finds a natural resonance with the <\/span>Fondazione Querini Stampalia<\/a>\u2018s own historical and forward-looking ethos, an alignment that allows Edra\u2019s furnishings, positioned in reception areas and exhibition rooms, to reinforce the sense of hospitality and enrich the visitor\u2019s experience.<\/span><\/p>\n Standard sofa by Francesco Binfar\u00e9 and Cicladi table by Jacopo Foggini, inside the Corte Mazzariol<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Edra\u2019s furniture selection thoughtfully interacts with the palazzo\u2019s unique interplay of light, materials, water, and the garden, demonstrating how contemporary design can be integrated respectfully within historic contexts. At the entrance, the Corte Mazzariol welcomes visitors with three compositions of the Standard sofa in light grey, dark brown, and an outdoor version in Every Place brown. This space serves as the fulcrum of the entire complex, featuring a suspended curtain that intercepts the light and makes it vibrate as if on the surface of the water of a canal.<\/span><\/p>\n Standard sofa by Francesco Binfar\u00e9 and Cicladi table by Jacopo Foggini, inside the Corte Mazzariol<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Further inside, the Scarpa Area, a meticulously designed space on the Querini\u2019s ground floor, features the Absolu sofa in blue velvet. This area is a testament to Carlo Scarpa\u2019s architectural genius. Between 1959 and 1963, he redesigned this section to create an exhibition and meeting space along with a courtyard garden. This space also offers a preview of \u2018No Stone Unturned. Conceptual Photography,\u2019 an exhibition dedicated to Californian artist John Baldessari.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Baldessari exhibition continues on the Palazzo\u2019s third floor, in the Portego, which is furnished with the On the Rocks sofa and Sherazade in light shades, complemented by the Grinza armchair in smoky grey. Through these considered placements, Edra\u2019s pieces not only offer comfort and style but also deepen the dialogue between the Foundation\u2019s rich historical layers and its contemporary vision.<\/span><\/p>\n Grinza armchair by Estudio Campana and Cicladi table by Jacopo Foggini inside the Scarpa Area<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n project info:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n company: Edra<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>@edra.official<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n location: Fondazione Querini Stampalia<\/a>, Venice | @fondazionequerinistampalia<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n products: Absolu sofa, Sherazade sofa, Cicladi table, Standard sofa, Grinza armchair<\/span><\/p>\n The post edra\u2019s furniture refreshes historic interiors at venice\u2019s fondazione querini stampalia museum<\/a> appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EDRA JOINS THE VISIONARY RENEWAL OF FONDAZIONE QUERINI STAMPALIA \u00a0 Coinciding with Venice\u2018s 19th International Architecture Biennale, Edra furnishes the Fondazione Querini Stampalia with its contemporary collection, marking a significant new chapter that elevates the … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nFURNITURE WITH TUSCAN ROOTS<\/h2>\n
