Fernando Mastrangelo Decorative Objects
Sculptor and furniture designer Fernando Mastrangelo is a master of many mediums, including stone, cement, silica, sand, salt and glass. His side tables, stools and wall-mounted sculptures are all made by hand at his New York studio. Each piece represents an interplay between art and function.
Mastrangelo paved himself a course toward sculpting and design early on in life. He graduated from Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts with a BFA in 2002 and from Virginia Commonwealth University with an MFA in sculpture in 2004. He worked for a short time for artist and photographer Matthew Barney before launching the Fernando Mastrangelo Studio (F/MS) in 2006.
Mastrangelo found quick success and recognition in his budding career. In 2008, his corn-based Avarice sculpture was acquired by the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Inspired by the Aztec calendar stone, the piece was later included in the museum’s “Connecting Cultures” exhibition.
Mastrangelo took his first foray into furniture in 2014, when he launched his debut line at the Sight Unseen Offsite design fair. He exhibited at Sight Unseen Offsite again in 2016, this time with a range of cement furniture known as the Fade series.
His star on the rise, Mastrangelo moved into a new, 10,000-square-foot studio and gallery space in Brooklyn in 2017. In describing the area to Introspective, he said: "My goal is to make my gallery a destination where people can come to see the passion of young creatives."
To celebrate the new chapter of his career, Mastrangelo held an inaugural exhibition at his gallery, In Good Company, to which many of his favorite designers and artists contributed. That same year, he founded the In Good Company nonprofit to provide emerging artists with a platform for their work. He later spent much of his time living and working in the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York.
Mastrangelo’s work has been exhibited worldwide, including at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, artgenève in Geneva and Mendes Wood Gallery in Sāo Paulo. He has also been commissioned to create bespoke pieces for the likes of Dior, Stella McCartney and Audemars Piguet.
