Raja Contemporary Mother of Pearl Table by Jacopo Foggini
About the Item
A precious table inspired by objects from the past, entirely made with inlaid mother of pearl in the Indian region of Rajasthan: a place where Jacopo Foggini, during one of his travels, discovered this unique material, with thousands of shimmering reflections. A generously sized table, with a rectangular top and four tapered legs that emphasize its lightness, in which the essential geometric lines enhance the richness of the material. The meeting between
Design and craftsmanship gives life to a functional object, a symbol of conviviality, and at the same time a piece of furniture capable of defining and characterizing the space that welcomes it.
While working for the family business, Jacopo Foggini discovered the versatile nature of methacrylate, a material generally used in the production of car reflectors. Enchanted by the aesthetical and chromatic qualities of this thermoplastic resin, similar to glass yet tremendously light, Foggini started experimenting its use since the late 1990s. With a machine of his own invention, Foggini melted methacrylate, and later polycarbonate, at 200°C transforming it into a filament that he then moulds with his hands creating luminous shapes and monumental artworks: labyrinths of colored light, blurring the boundaries between art and design. “The speed of execution is almost the same as that for the glass, however with my materials I can mould monumental artworks that are extremely lightweighted”.
Jacopo Foggini was born in Turin and currently lives and works in Milan. He explores art and design crossing the boundaries imposed by the conventions of those disciplines. Jacopo joins really early the family business where he discovers the versatility of the methacrylate, an Industrial material normally used in automotive design. His first experimentation with this material date back to the beginning of the nineties, when he starts using a machine of his own invention that heats the methacrylate up to 200 degrees Celsius, producing a filament that he models with his hands to create luminous shapes, monumental works and mazes of threads in an elegant intertwining of colors.
The primary picture below shows the Medusa chandelier model A and the other pictures are past installations created by Jacopo Foggini to give a better idea of the artist's work.
The primary pictures below is the Raja table in the light an in the dark followed by a close up of the mother of pearl. The next pictures are various installations that Jacopo has done as an artist including the chairs that he manufactured for the Orsay Museum in Paris' restaurant where they are still.
