Dondolo Rose Antique Iron Rocking by Yukiko Nagai

About the Item

Dondolo rose antique iron rocking by Yukiko Nagai. Dimensions: D 82 x W 58 x H 93 cm. Material: Marble, Natural stone, Venetian color glass, Cement, Stucco, Iron Weight: 43 kg All pieces are handmade, so the colours and shapes of the patterns may vary. The chair used in this piece is a one-off antique. The price of the artwork may vary depending on the price of the chair. An antique rocking chair for the garden, made out of cast-iron and mosaic. The entire seat recreates, with mosaic, a rose and leaf pattern – inspired by an idea of spring typical of European enclosure walls – covered in ivy and roses. The "stone fabric" is recreated with Small Venetian glass tiles , arranged as a net, giving a smooth flowing to the point of making the surface looking like a fabric. In the lush spring and summer seasons, the rocking chair is integrated with flowers, allowing it to add a touch of colour to the garden. Born in Niigata (Japan) in 1981, she graduated in Environment Design at the Tama Art University. She moved to Italy, to study the mosaic at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna. The concept behind her body of work, is to reproduce with mosaic the textures of different kinds of material. Through the use of mosaic, she re-enacts the appearance and volume of wood or fabric, briefly deceiving the viewer's eye which, once touched the work, realizes it’s not what it seemed to be. This creates a particular kind of “imbalance” between what the viewers feel and what they see, creating surprise and amusement — the latter being a very important element, that must be present in the work.
