Set of 3 Rare Wood Chairs By Robino & Denton For Petroglyph 2011

About the Item

The Petroglyph Collection is a captivating and ever-evolving assemblage crafted from discarded materials meticulously sourced by the Nucleo Laboratory. This collection breathes new life into scrap materials, transforming them into a dynamic and ever-changing form of art. Drawing inspiration from the preliminary phase of cave painting, the layers of these materials resonate with the essence of wooden tablets, once used for ancient scribbles. At the heart of this collection lies a unique process: timber boards serve as a screen-printed matrix. Through a singular and unreproducible painting gesture, a message is transferred onto the wooden surface. Each assembled piece becomes a vessel for an invisible message, a clandestine narrative encoded within the canvas. These messages draw inspiration from the profound aphorisms of Fedor Dostoevskij, celebrating beauty as the ultimate form of salvation. The wooden canvas, now imprinted with a soul-stirring message, stands as a testament to the lost tradition of reusing materials—an art form rediscovered and reintroduced by this collection. In the visible body of the piece, viewers witness a revival of a practice abandoned in the last quarter century. The collection embodies the philosophy that beauty has the power to save the world, emphasizing the dual nature of salvation: the concealed message within the soul of the piece and the visible rejuvenation of the discarded material—a symbolic resurrection of the tangible body. In a world that sometimes neglects the importance of preserving beauty, The Petroglyph Collection is a beacon of creativity, a unique piece resonating with the belief that as we cherish and save beauty, we, in turn, contribute to the salvation of a world in constant transformation.

    Set of 2 Licitra chairs by Pietro Franceschini Dimensions: W 62 x D 71 x H 95 cm Materials: mohair velvet Somebody once said that simplicity is the essence of happiness. So I dedicated this work to my friend Caterina Licitra. Licitra chair challenges the ability to simplify, eliminating the unnecessary so that the necessary can speak. The hardedged and bold silhouette speaks a clean language made of a few primitive volumes that firmly fit together. The soft and bright texture of the yellow Pierre Frey Mohair brings a contrast. The blend is sculptural and playful making Licitra a love-at-first-sight. The piece is locally manufactured in Milan and two versions in different fabrics will follow. The perfect location for the launch is the iconic Le Corbusier’s Unité...
