"Africa" Chest of Drawers with Inlays of Zebra Wood by Ivan Paradisi, Italy
About the Item
Looking like a monolith on almost invisible legs, "Africa" chest of drawers is conceived and realized with a continuous flow of thin branches, ideally matched one to another so that it becomes impossible to notice edges of separate wood pieces. Each leaf is handmade, piece by piece. The wood essence used by Ivan Paradisi is zebra wood. To emphasize a special "natural" feeling of the chest of drawers the designer decided to have the four capacious drawers covered with linen fabric.
This piece of contemporary art, as per Ivan's concept, describes the modern and historical paintings, sculptures, installations, and other visual culture of native or indigenous Africans and the African continent. This chest of drawers will fit your ambient perfectly, adding joy and natural beauty to your room.

His works have been exposed at the Biennale in Venice, at the Italian Pavillon in Turin and have been awarded the Artisan Excellence Award. In his works the former musician and singer, Ivan Paradisi, rediscovers the art of wood crafting from a totally new perspective. Straight lines and modern wooden inlays come to life with different layers and curves, which, are being cut out from precious types of wood. Each piece, handcrafted entirely by Master Ivan itself, is designed keeping in mind the grace of the old Italian tradition, with a new sophisticated vision of space. His musical background and an unsurpassed passion for wood, allowed Ivan Paradisi to design his own pieces of furniture, with a contemporary look and a new concept of space. These unseen designs and shapes are so complex to a point where they seem impossible to be real. It is thus that art of wooden inlays, which is an antique craft, finds a new energy in the virtue of Ivan eccentricity. Paradisi complex and personal interpretations are the results of a particular sensibility added to a deep knowledge of his Art.
