Anacleto Spazzapan, Design Object, Italy 21st Century

Two-doored design object by Anacleto Spazzapan standing on three ball feet with a concave-convex body and flat back. The monogram AS is also on the back. The object stands between art and function, between object and cabinet. It consists of individual, 5mm thick metal rods, welded together by hand. Anacleto Spazzapan (born 1943) sees himself as a designer in the service of modernity. However, antiques always reveal the value of good craftsmanship, an aspect which the designer wants to preserve through his handmade furniture. "I come from the antiques field which represents history. Antique furniture displays the value of handmade while contemporary items stand for technology. Mixing these two worlds is a personal choice which enriches an interior in terms of style." - Anacleto Spazzapan.
