Contemporary Art Senior Footstool in Velvet and Grezzo Arte Wood by Urano Palma

About the Item

... So many chairs, so many benches, so many big tables, all with the wrinkled skin of old tree trunks or of rusted metal sheet. The chair is probably the central symbol of this universe, as it is deeply tied to the deep geology of terrestrial energy’s atomic force. The chair is the basis, the bearer of strength, and also the monument, the existential outlet. Urano Palma’s chairs are tower, castle, grand warehouses of the past, but they carry themselves well. They are robust, nervous, vital. They look like passers-by, always ready to enact some gesture of Challenge or braveness. The head and the heart, bound together, are put in their proper place upon sitting. The chairs are mines of energy, true handcrafted bombs. AII of the work of Urano Palma reflects this existential tension. The artist’s vital philosophy lends his work this dimension of existential fragments of a continuously developing basic universe ... Pierre Restany.
