"Pegasus, " Art Deco Sculpture w/ Male Nude by Brunetti, inspired by Walter Crane
About the Item
Beautifully and subtly glazed in tones of grey, green, pink and tan, this stunning Art Deco sculptural rondel depicts Bellerophon, a nude male figure from Greek mythology, restraining a winged Pegasus in a lush springtime landscape. This piece is a rare example of the work of Mario Brunetti, who was part of a circle of sculptors and ceramicists influenced by the enormously successful Lenci workshop in Turin (Torino). Brunetti favoured mythological subjects, but his work is extremely rare. This motif of Bellerophon, shown nude with Greek cap, restraining the rearing Pegasus, is closely patterned after a painting made by Walter Crane, the famed English illustrator, in 1889.

View All"Harvest Scene with Male Nudes" by Cochet for Lachenal Ceramic Works, 1920s
By Raoul Lachenal
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Unique and striking, this wall plate by the famed Lachenal ceramic works in France depicts two nude male figures harvesting lush, broad-leafed plants in the field.

The idea was born after deciding to reconnect with my family and my grandfather – a sculptor artist. Learning to sculpt and being a designer compelled me to combine these two mediums and use their best values. Experimenting with the functionality of sculpture and the meaning of furniture led me to create the collection.
Studio AOAO is an interdisciplinary studio combining art and design. It was created by Alicja Strzyzynska and Onur Iseri in Amsterdam in 2020.
“We specialise in making sculptural pieces by experimenting with the functionality of sculpture and the meaning of furniture. In our works, we focus on the emotional connection between the object and the user. All of our work seeks the experience of intimacy and the metaphysical bond between personal interaction and meaningful narrative. Through sculptural value and reflective design, we aim to create pieces that last for generations and help reduce environmental waste.”
The inspiration to sculpt came from Alicja’s roots, her grandfather – an artist sculptor. Alicja completed Masters of Arts Degree in Product and Visual Communication Design at Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts and finished her bachelor degree in Interior Architecture. Alicja previously worked in Tokyo and Amsterdam in architectural design studios. Onur completed his business studies in Japan and worked in digital design & marketing as well as teaching in Tokyo.
The studio’s first collection debuted at Rossana Orlandi Gallery during Milan Design Week 2021. The studio currently collaborates with RO Gallery...
