About the Item

Gianni Pinna "L'universo" wall panel, wood, Italy, 1970. Gianni Pinna's 1970’s hand-crafted wooden wall panels redefine how art interacts with architecture. Each set includes four modular panels featuring intricately engraved geometric motifs that appear deceptively similar. Upon closer inspection, these panels reveal a sophisticated play of carved patterns-varying in depth, direction, and smoothness. The resulting interplay of light and shadow creates a sense of dimensionality, making the panels seem thicker than they are. Pinna designed these panels to be freely arranged, with no fixed orientation. This flexibility allows for endless configurations, offering a dynamic, ever-evolving aesthetic. The engraved shapes evoke abstract cityscapes, symbols, and movements, as though they capture entire urban stories in transit. Pinna’s work stands at the intersection of fine art and design, bringing sculptural qualities into functional architectural elements. Known for blending abstraction with practicality, Pinna’s designs challenge the static nature of traditional wall décor. His engraved motifs are not just decorative; they actively engage the space, creating a sense of rotation and continuity across surfaces. By integrating these panels into a room, one introduces a dialogue between light, texture, and architecture—a testament to Pinna’s ability to transform flat surfaces into dynamic visual experiences that blur the line between art and architecture.
