Two Night Tables Italian Design Handcrafted Contemporary Wood and Oxidized Resin
About the Item
A pair of bedside tables from 1950s in wood gets a new contemporary style with the illusion of tables in different metals. The cabinets are part of the Italian project Q.bo sculture, an artistic project who elevate the object to a real sculpture while keeping the functional part it was create for. No longer furniture but indipendent form able to fill a space and arouse emotions by itself.
While the inside of the cabinet is made by two coats of black resin, the exterior had a different treatment. First it was hand painted in three coats of resin with mixed metal powder (copper, gold, brass) and, once it dried, the artist sprayed an acid to oxidate the resin. The final effect is surprising: each metal oxidation turned copper green, gold yellow and brass red.
Unique sculptures to furnish bedrooms or living rooms.
Every piece is created in an accurate way by Marco Padovese, an artisan artist with a deep knowledge in resins. Normally this kind of eco-friendly resin is used to coat floor or wall, instead of tiles, in kitchens and bathrooms.
This hand painted resin technique applied to furniture creates a new surface with visual and tactile effect and gives also a protection from scratches and small bumps. Furthermore the cabinet is cleanable with a damp cloth and is water-repellent.
The wood is in constant motion, cracks and small chinks on the surface are natural and unstoppable parts of the life of the pieces.

Q.bo sculture
THE SMALL ITALIAN FURNITURE-SCULPTURE THAT FURNISH
The project Q.bo sculture gives new shapes to small pieces of vintage furniture from the 1950s and 1960s. The purpose of the project is not to recreate the object in a different form but to elevate it to a real sculpture while preserving the functional part it was create for. No longer furniture for living room or kitchen, hall or bedroom, but an indipendent form able to fill a space, tell a story and arouse emotions by itself.
In each piece is possible to follow all the processing phases and all the materials it is made of. Looking the backside of the cabinet, its door and drawer, we still see wood, nails, joints used originally and it is like to step in a 1950s-1960s room. This new resin “dress” and form launches the vintage furniture to our present in a contemporary style.
Q.bo sculture was born from an idea by the architect Marco Padovese, driven by constant experimentation and the desire for express himself.
Marco Padovese, after his artistic education and a degree in architecture, deals with architectural restoration, building and furniture. This new project, Q.bo sculture, develops his artistic journey where the goal is to leave a mark, to create a shape with every probable or improbable tool. He has always hands covered with stains of paint, resins, ink, cement, glue, chalk or whatever he is using to create a cabinet, a paint or a sculpture. He exhibits his works in art galleries and fairs in Florence, Venice, Padua.
