About the Item

“Open Door” coffee table from the “Trasformatio” collection, design Michele Iodice exclusively for the Esprit Nouveau gallery LIMITED EDITION 1/1 Closet door in poplar root with eyelet from the late 1930s broken down through cuts made in the door itself which act as a foot. Integrations in recycled blue PMMA and glass, Italy 1930/2022 TRASFORMATIO Design Non Convenzionale TRASFORMATIO is a design line born from the collaboration between the artist Michele Iodice and the Esprit Nouveau Gallery in Naples. Alberta Saladino, founder and soul of Esprit Nouveau Gallery, has been proactively involved in ‘900 antique pieces research during the last twenty years and invited Michele Iodice to think of a way to reinterpret some Art Deco complementary design and furnishing pieces, from her private collection. TRASFORMATIO project has a pioneer and artistic soul able to set the connection lines between past, present and future. The whole idea was born with the aim to explore interactions between art and design. TRASFORMATIO traces an historical path in human minds, that starts with the birth of design and reaches our living present, embracing artistic novelties with wisdom. The common thread of the exhibition is dynamism. “Most of the people think a furnishing piece can only be a set of elements that move in the emptiness of space. Nevertheless, for others it can be poetry”. Alexander Calder described his most successful pieces of work with the above words. Michele Iodice, fully interprets his thought through TRASFORMATIO. His art works are fluctuating in a dynamic equilibrium where they are able to break the physical limits of traditional static furniture, attributing them movement and lightness. TRASFORMATIO artistic methods can be applied to every kind of support. It does not reproduce, but it tears the item out of its traditional context to revive it, instead, in a completely different and new environment. The setup personally curated by the Neapolitan artist, combines a collection of pieces that express the close relationship between design and contemporary art, as well as the strong connection between cultural stratification and innovation. Every object signed by Michele Iodice is rigorously realized by local artisans and tells about the attention to detail behind it, in a process that enhances the principles and values of “artigianato cosciente”, in English, “conscious craftsmanship”. The materials used spans from wood, parchment, and Plexiglas, to steel, combined in a fusion that is aimed to reflect the complexity of the research that Iodice has been performing since years.
