Excellent condition measuring 9 3/4" x 8 3/4" x 11 1/2" tall. Lino Sabattini Lino Sabattini (born Corregio, Italy, September 23, 1925–died 2016) was one of the most revered Italian silversmiths of the twentieth century, Lino Sabattini was a self-taught master who gained great acclaim for his novel silver-plate designs. Born in Corregio, Italy, in 1925, Sabattini came of age as an artist in the midst of the tensions of World War II. During this period Sabattini trained in a brassware shop to lean the basic skills of metalworking; at the same time, though, he pored over issues of Domus magazine, which informed the young innovator about the leading trends and theories that Italian design was facing during that mid-century moment. It was this exposure, along with his subsequent training in the studio of German ceramicist, Roland Hettner, that Sabattini became compelled by the materiality and malleability of shapes. He moved to Milan in 1955, where he set up his own humble studio to try his hand at some of his design ideas. It was there that he made the acquaintance of rising designers and architects, many of them associated with the Domus publication that he had studied so diligently earlier in his career. These new contacts became the conduit between Sabattini and designer Gio Ponti (1891-1979), as they brought several works by Sabattini to Ponti’s office for his critique. Having admired the remarkable fluidity and overall novelty of Sabattini’s production, Ponti orchestrated an exhibition of the young silversmith’s work in 1956 and thereby elevated Sabattini to international recognition. This acclaim earned him a directorship with the luxury manufacturer Christofle Orfèvrerie, a role he would maintain until 1963. Encouraged by the consistent success of his creations, Sabattini opened his own company, Argenteria Sabattini, in 1964 in Bregnano, Italy. What drove him in this company was the same passion that had fueled the early years of his career: a powerful fusion of organic form with a balanced look to both Neoclassical and Modernist aesthetics. This drive resulted in accolades for the groundbreaking designer. In addition to receiving a Gold Medal at the Triennale di Milano exhibition in 1971, Sabattini was also the recipient of the Compasso d’Oro award in 1979. Today Sabattini has been immortalized through the inclusion of his works in some of the best international museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Lino Sabattini

Lino Sabattini was the preeminent figure in modern Italian silver and metalware design. His expansive and diverse body of work is marked by its strength and boldness, whether in dynamic forms that suggest the thrust and power of Italian Futurist art and design or light and curvaceous biomorphic serveware and decorative objects.

Sabattini was largely self-taught as a designer. Born in the northern Italian town of Correggio, he learned metalsmithing techniques while working in the studio of a maker of brass tableware. He also served as an apprentice of sorts to the expatriate German ceramist Roland Hettner, who taught Sabattini about fluidity of form and showed him how shapes derive from the behavior of materials.

At age 30, Sabattini opened a studio in Milan, and his work quickly came to the attention of Gio Ponti, who decided to publish it in Domus, the Italian design legend's influential design and architecture magazine. Ponti also arranged for Sabattini’s creations to be included in a 1956 exhibition of contemporary Italian design in Paris. The principals of Christofle, the revered French silverware maker, were so impressed that they hired the young designer as the firm’s artistic director, a post he held until 1963. Sabattini, who would also go on to design ceramic wares for Rosenthal, returned home to open Argenteria Sabattini in Bregnano, a company still in business today.

A designer with a questing curiosity and ever-evolving aesthetic sensibility, Sabattini couldn’t be pinned down to one particular style. His best-known work, the Como coffee and tea service of 1956, has an elegant, attenuated and energetic form; his Stairs coffee and tea service (1971), meanwhile, is a clever group of simple columnar shapes in stepped heights, which nest together in a compact arrangement. Other Sabattini pieces have dramatic angles, or sweeping, wing-like flourishes, or consist of perforated ovoids somehow reminiscent of sculptures by Brancusi. In any style, Sabattini produced objects of singular fascination.
