Modern Andrea Salvetti for Dilmos Polished Armchair Aluminium Cast

Andrea Salvetti was an Italian artist and sculptor, born in 1967, in Bozzano, Lucca, Italy. He was trained at the Firenze Architecture University. He started his artistic activity in 1993. In 1996, he presented his first sculpture-seat in aluminum. He took part in the 48th edition of the “Venice Biennale” in 1999, in the Italian pavilion, where he presented a project between art and food. His strong interest in food and cooking became a fundamental aspect of his designer and sculptor work.

For years, Andrea exhibited several projects between design and sculpture in DILMOS, NILUFAR and MOSS galleries and collaborated with other new galleries of the period, such as Two be and secondome et gallerianumero38. He developed a deep interest in molten materials and created experimental techniques in his own studio. He participated in international exhibitions, such as “Art Design London”, “Design Miami Basel” and many collective Italian and foreign projects. During those years, he also collaborated with design firms, such as Minotti, Gervasoni, Alivar, Zerodisegno and designed exclusive furniture for Sony, Heineken, Costagroup and special works for Philippe Starck. Since 1996, his works have been published in many catalogs and national and international magazines.
