About the Item

Elvira is a sculpture armchair and a bespoke masterpiece created by Angela Ardisson for her Avio Collection in 1997. The design of the precious bronze castings draws its unique inspiration from the fuselage of airplanes. The bearing structure consists of two numbered castings made of brass, which are entirely hand-sculpted. All the carved areas inside the castings are oxidized with a matt copper green finish and stand in beautiful contrast to the external metal profiles, which are mirror-polished. Also, the back support on the ground is a bronze casting. The padding is made of a thermoforming foam which can adjust to the body temperature and ensure maximum comfort. The coating in grain leather softly maintains the shape of the armchair, despite its elasticity and adaptability to the body shape. The ultra-soft leather wraps around all the curved parts and round details of the armchair, including the concave part of the seat. This Elvira leather armchair is a one-of-a-kind piece, the last one of a numbered brass series created by Angela Ardisson. The powder pink color matches beautifully with the copper green castings. The soft arm-rest padding on the head of the bronze casting can rotate easily at 360 degrees to leave space for any kind of object or simply to enjoy a glass of wine. Elvira is handcrafted in Italy by a team of skilled artisans: Angela has supervised and coordinated the work of upholsterers and masters of fusion through the sand casting processes, which utilizes expendable sand molds to form complex metal parts. The surface treatment of the metal is at the same time spontaneous and controlled: the natural oxidation meets its polished profile. An extraordinary piece of furniture, rich in details of minimalist beauty, which will take your interiors to the next level.

Elda, Brass and Glass Ceiling Lamp by Angela Ardisson
Located in Milano, IT
The suspension lamp Elda was Angela Ardisson’s first glass lamp, born as a single piece in 2017. The name of this light project is a tribute to her maternal grand- mother, Elda Garrisi, who lived between the 30s and 80s. She was elegant and charming and had a passion for the Art Deco furniture and ornaments, from which this lamp draws inspiration.? Resembling the Venetian Murrine, Elda’s hand-twisted glass pole encapsulates an elongated brass section containing a LED light source. Thanks to these stratifications, Elda’s brass looks like melted gold from which light transpires. A dimmable special liquid light, strong but shoots in the same time by the color of the same light I use for it. Its suspended pole has a reclining junction. With its 3 cm of diameter, the Elda suspension lamp can be described as a very thin spear of light, and, among all of Angela Ardisson’s lamps, it is certainly the most versatile for any interior project. The process of hand-twisting the glass around itself undoubtedly enhances the charming elegance of this lamp. Thanks to its aesthetic minimalism and technical light features, the Elda lamp coexists with the most diverse interior architectures. This hanging lamp also comes in a wall version, both vertical and horizontal. Elda suspended lamp is well suited to light up tables...
