"Una" Dining Table by Stefano Marolla

"Una" is the name of the collection that comes from Italian grammar where the indeterminate article precedes a non-identified noun. The objects play on the ambiguity of the matter that can deceive the eye: a sturdy element like wood, hand-carved and levigated, looks like a light tapestry. The curves and the soft drapery of the wood are inspired by a long and attentive study of the usage of drapery in art history, going back from ancient Greece to Bernini’s sculptures. This piece is currently on show and immediately available at Artemest Galleria New York.
