About the art
Artist statement
The architecture of the bench highlights the idea of surface and plates, basic elements of the metal working. The grid, the result of 26 hours of machining, increases the perception of surfaces in space and the perspective effect. The weight of the steel is contrasted by the shape of the bench, which seems to be balanced on a single line of support.
We have embarked on a journey with the company and launched this project to share with a wider public this Italian excellence and the quality of their work. The company's know-how has allowed us to approach the project as if we were working on a tailor-made suit: the choice of steel plates and profiles of different sections and thicknesses like the choice of fabric; the plasma cutting of the parts according to the project, such as the cutting of the pieces of fabric that follow the patterns; fitting: the parts are joined manually with small welding points and with the aid of temporary components that will first be welded to the rest of the product to give structure and then removed, just like the fitting of a bespoke suit; finally, expert welding with an infusible tungsten electrode, like the seams of a seamstress hidden in the right places.
