About the Item

Metropolis vase by Riccardo Puglielli Unique Dimensions: D 50 x H 85 cm Materials: Bronze Also available in brass or aluminum. Each piece will be hand-hammered and unique Riccardo Puglielli was born in Milan, in northern Italy, in 1983. Despite his artistic background, never abandoned and always carried on, he did classical studies and graduated in law. After several years of study and activity, in 2011 he decides to "go back to basics" by undertaking a personal project that leads him to open his own laboratory to meet the growing demand in the design market. For over a decade, he has been making furniture items for many of the best Italian architecture and design studios and has been involved in the restoration of modern antiques for galleries. With this, he is lucky enough to get his hands on many iconic objects and to meet and work with leading figures in the world of design. For over a decade, he has never made the same object twice. This huge variety of works forced him to explore and specialize in different metal forming and modeling techniques, with a particular love for copper alloys, namely bronze and brass. However, the thing that he has most noticed in these years of activity is that objects are often more beautiful in a certain specific phase of their processing than when the work is "finished". The Wabi Sabi vision is not a trend, it is absolutely real. At a different moment for each object, all these defects make it alive, beautiful and, most importantly, able to tell its own history. In his creations, Riccardo tries to stop at that precise point.
