About the Item

Large console shelf by Nerone Patuzzi with blue mirror shelf, 1950s-60s This extraordinary console shelf, made by master sculptor Nerone Patuzzi in the 1950s-60s, is an authentic example of art and design fused in a single creation. The console is made with unparalleled sculptural mastery, as Patuzzi accustomed us to throughout his career, and is a tribute to the artist's ability to transform wood into a visionary and futuristic work of art. As you can see in the certificate in the cabinet changes were made because it was born as a mantelpiece. The structure, made of noble wood, has been carved with ornaments typical of Nerone Patuzzi's style, characterized by a daring play of geometries, inlets and reliefs that give life to a three-dimensional work with dynamic and sculptural surfaces. Every detail of the console tells of Patuzzi's desire to create not just furniture, but true functional sculptures. The top shelf, embellished with an intense blue mirror, amplifies the light and creates a refined play of reflections, helping to give the console an elegant, almost ethereal appearance. Note its hand-hammered legs to create a sculpted effect even in this structural element. of great fascination. The futuristic design of the console results in a perfect balance of abstract shapes and geometric volumes, where sharp lines and machined surfaces almost seem to float in space. Patuzzi, through his innovative vision, challenges conventions and transforms wood into a living, vibrant material charged with artistic significance. Each surface, carved and shaped, invites the eye to get lost in the details, discovering unexpected angles and visual rhythms that recall a rigorous and poetic abstractionism. Nerone Patuzzi does not limit himself to working with wood: he moulds it with unique techniques, often treating it with fire using a blowpipe, obtaining burnt and suggestive surfaces that add depth and character to his works. These details, combined with his ability to create sculptures in the round, show his talent for fusing art and architecture, creating works of furniture that go beyond mere functionality. It is in this console that Patuzzi is able to bring out his sculptural vision, creating a piece that transcends time and fashion, becoming a unique and unrepeatable piece of furniture. Throughout his career, Patuzzi has evolved from serial production under the brand name 'Forme e Superfici' to a more intimate and personal research. If in the 1950s and 1960s his work was closely linked to a rigorous geometry, with time Patuzzi was able to embrace greater conceptual freedom, exploring new horizons and creating increasingly autonomous and complete works. The blue mirror console is a perfect expression of this research: a synthesis of art, function and innovation. The console is ideal for enriching elegant and sophisticated environments, where the dialogue between design and art can be appreciated in its purest form. Every detail, every machined surface and every material choice testifies to the mastery and vision of Nerone Patuzzi, an artist capable of transforming wood into a timeless narrative. A functional work of art, perfect for those seeking an exclusive design piece, capable of expressing beauty, innovation and history.

Nerone and Patuzzi

Nerone and Patuzzi furniture is a shining example of the experimental side of mid-century modern design. While the style is known mainly for its clean lines and simple forms, this Italian duo showcased how artistic it could be. Together, they designed beautiful abstract and figurative sculptures, as well as sculptural coffee tables and wall lights.

Gianni Patuzzi (1932–2022) and Giovanni Ceccarelli (1937–1996), who went by the name Nerone, worked together under the NP2 Group. They met while they were both students at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia and were acquainted again in Turin in 1959. The two struck up a fruitful partnership, and in 1962, they started the NP2 Group out of a studio in the Borgaro Torinese northwest of the city.

The idea behind the NP2 group was to integrate art with architecture and furniture making, bringing it out of museums and making it more accessible. The studio of the two young designers quickly became an exciting hub of innovation, attracting talented designers and artists like Marcel Breuer and Emilio Vedova.

In 1964, Nerone’s younger brother, Piercarlo Ceccarelli, joined the NP2 Group as a manager and administrator. Ceccarelli was instrumental in creating relationships with galleries, showrooms and architects throughout Europe and the United States. The group began receiving both public and private commissions.

By the late 1960s, the work of Nerone and Patuzzi was being exhibited around the world, earning recognition and awards. Their designs included everything from furniture and fittings to monumental sculptures. They utilized a wide range of techniques, including woodworking, metalworking and marble engraving.

Around this time, Nerone and Patuzzi began working on individual side projects, but they continued collaborating as the NP2 Group until 1974.

In an interview with the European Parliamentary Research Service in 2016, Patuzzi reflected fondly on his time collaborating with Nerone, remembering that they worked hard but with great enthusiasm.
