About the Item

This Futurist wall console from the 1920s, crafted in Italy, perfectly embodies the bold and innovative spirit of the Futurist movement. Made from dark wood, its sharp, geometric lines seem to defy gravity, creating a sense of lightness and dynamism while maintaining a solid structure. The triangular shape supporting the top is a true celebration of asymmetry and movement-core principles of Futurism, which sought to break away from the aesthetic conventions of the past. Every detail of this console pays tribute to the ideas of speed and progress: the precisely shaped wood transforms into a play of shadows and light, emphasizing the interaction between space and form. This console is not just a piece of furniture; it is a functional sculpture that adds character to any environment. Every time it is observed, one feels as though they are in the presence of a unique work of art, capable of conveying unstoppable energy and minimalist elegance, typical of the works born during the artistic and cultural fervor of 1920s Italy. Mounted on a wall, the console captures attention, becoming a focal point that transforms the space with its innovative and daring design. It is a tangible testament to an era when art, design, and architecture merged to create objects that spoke of the future, challenging every convention and celebrating the avant-garde.
