Story
Successor to the Doge
Cassina says Carlo Scarpa designed the Sarpi in 1974 as a successor to the Doge, both included in the collection known as Ultrarazionale.
Tops beyond the octagon
The sheet says Tobia Scarpa complemented the original octagonal top in 2009, and that rectangular, square and round versions later augmented it, with an elongated circle option known as the Elistella.
