Salvino Marsura Floor Lamp, Italy, 1970s
- Description
-
Late artist Salvino Marsura was born in Treviso in 1938 and learnt his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor Toni Benetton. His ironwork art and furniture relishes in the manual aesthetic of the forge, giving voice to the raw metal and the processes of its manipulation including sweltering heat, hammering, bending, and welding. The results can be beautifully abstract, geometric, or sensitively responsive to observation of natural forms.
One of a unique trio produced by Marsura in the 1970s, this metal floor lamp marries an almost Art Nouveau sensuality of form with experimental metalwork techniques. Bulbs emerge from a sinuous stem that rises from a puddle-like base, twisting to sheath a final bulb in metal ‘petals’. The surface of the metal is beautifully patinated and carries an engraved signature by the artist.
Recently rewired and PAT tested to UK standards. Two available.

Béton Brut
Béton Brut presents rare, design-led furniture from Europe and Japan. The collection, drawn from over a century of design, coheres around functional art & sculptural forms. Béton Brut comes from the concrete finish used in modernist architecture. It is rational yet organic, just like the collection.
