Giorgio Cattano Mammut Post Modern bench for Cleto Munari, Italy limited edition

About the Item

Giorgio Cattano Mammut (Mammoth) bench for Cleto Munari, Italy, 2009 from an edition of 99 examples. Designed by renowned Italian artist and designer Giorgio Cattano, the Mammut Bench, created in 2009 for the prestigious Cleto Munari, is a striking piece of contemporary furniture that blends sculptural art with functional design. Drawing inspiration from the monumental presence of the mammoth, the bench captures the powerful and organic forms of prehistoric creatures, evoking both strength and elegance. Crafted from luxurious materials, the Mammut Bench features a seamless integration of hand-polished, high-quality resin and solid wood, embodying a sense of both weight and fluidity. Its imposing, yet inviting form consists of exaggerated, fluid curves that suggest the animalistic shapes of the mammoth's body and tusks. The contrast between its sculptural mass and the smoothness of its surface creates a sense of dynamic tension, while maintaining a sense of balance and harmony. The bench is produced in a limited edition of 99 examples, underscoring its exclusivity and value as a collector’s piece. Its tactile, refined finish speaks to the precision of Cleto Munari’s craftsmanship and the designer's commitment to exploring new boundaries in contemporary furniture design. As much an art object as it is a functional piece of furniture, the Mammut Bench is an exceptional testament to Giorgio Cattano’s vision of blending the natural world with the language of design, while inviting the viewer to appreciate the raw beauty of form and material.
