Petroglyph Armchair

About the Item

The petroglyph collection recodes and reprocess scrap material sourced by the Nucleo Laboratory, in an assemblage that is constantly changing and evolving its form. The layers of the material evoke the wooden tablets used to make scribbles in the preliminary phase of cave painting, becoming a media to support an even more relevant piece of art. The timber boards are used as a screen-printed matrix. With a painting gesture, unique and unrepeatable, the message is transferred on the wooden surface. After being assembled, the piece will carry an invisible message, a secret kept only on a canvas, where aphorisms inspired by Fedor Dostoevskij will celebrate beauty as the only form of salvation. Salvation in a double sense, the message hidden inside, the soul, and in the re-used material, the body visible to all. A tradition of re-using that has been lost during the last quarter century and now re-introduced. Beauty will save the world, but we should save beauty. Unique piece.

Una 'Articolo Indeterminativo' Wood Chaise Longue
By Stefano Marolla
Located in Roma, IT
The chaise longue is the third piece of the collection Una (Articolo Indeterminativo) by Stefano Marolla. The name of the collection comes from the Italian grammar where the indeterminative article precedes a non-identified noun. The objects play on the ambiguity of the matter than can deceive the eye: a sturdy element like wood, hand-curved and levigated, looks like a light tapestry. The curves and the soft drapery of the wood are inspired by a long and attentive study on the usage of drapery in art’s history, going back from the ancient Greece to Bernini’s sculptures...
