From the Turin Museum website:
After the war, Turin, like the rest of Italy, experienced a period of great economic development distinguished by profound cultural transformations and an impressive phase of economic growth and social unrest.
In a panorama characterized by rapid and overwhelming industrial development, Italian sensitivity towards art did not take long to make its influence felt, pushing artists to seek a role in a reality made up of mass-produced objects. The desire to go beyond the mimetic character of industrial production and, at the same time, to give a new physiognomy to craftsmanship led four students from the painting school of the "Libera Accademia" of Turin to experiment with the high-fire enamel technique. Thus was born Studio Del Campo, whose name recalls the agricultural land surrounding the first headquartersThe graphic sign of the logo with which they distinguish themselves represents the furrow that the Etruscans traced to define the property and which symbolizes, in the case of the shop, the competence acquired in the enamel technique, a process that stimulates creativity and continuous imagination.
The first steps of the shop are marked by the production of small artefacts, such as precious objects and sacred art, but also common household objects and furnishing accessories, in an attempt to promote this production with exhibitions in galleries to increase customers. As a first example of this promotional activity, we highlight the participation of the "Artistic Community" in the second edition of the "Italian Exhibition of Jewelery and Goldsmithing", which took place in Turin in 1956, at Palazzo Reale. This was followed by many others.
2. Production and collaborations
Vases, trays, bottles, sculptures, glass door handles highlight the intent to enhance the intrinsic qualities of the enamel and to translate the various contemporary pictorial expressions into aesthetic research, with results that change over time: they varied from complex scenes and plastics with dynamic signs of futuristic origin and tending towards abstraction. Over the years, the four artists have experimented with the use of enamel on different materials (steel, bronze, silver, copper and wrought iron), worked with various techniques: cloisonné, champlevé - reservé , basse taille , grisaille .
Since 1957, with the participation in the the object allowing a wide chromatic variety in step with the times.
Until the closure of the business in 1997, there were numerous collaborations with architects, designers and artists, including: Gio Ponti, Toni Cordero, Augusto Romano, Carlo Mollino. Some examples of handles created by the Studio are visible in the Mollino Chamber of Commerce, at Ugo Cavallini's house in Via Cibrario, in some bars, such as the "Jolly" in Piazza Bernini, shops, and in the offices of the then San Paolo Banking Institute , who had commissioned blue handles with the saint's effigy.
The value of the creations created does not highlight the single individualities, but is the result of the collaboration and the equal relationship between the members of the workshop, an attitude that made Del Campo a studio appreciated throughout the world and at the forefront for its time.
