Stackable Sphere Sculpture by Tommaso Barbi 1970s

About the Item

Modular sculpture designed by Tommaso Barbi in the 1970s, composed of four stackable brass and chrome pieces that fit precisely to form an elegant sphere. Its design embodies the sophistication of the golden age of Italian design, playing with the duality between function and art. The surfaces reflect light in an immersive way, enhancing the geometric purity of the composition. It is possible that it originally consisted of five pieces. Signs of wear and dents that add character to its historical patina.

The pale glazed patina enhances its sculptural presence, lending it an ethereal character and an almost mineral quality. Birthe Aksby, active in Denmark during the second half of the 20th century, is renowned for her mastery of fine ceramics and her exploration of nature-inspired forms. Alongside this remarkable piece, a newspaper clipping was found mentioning her work exhibited at Galerie Gammel Strand in Copenhagen, alongside ceramicist Lizzie Thyssen...
