Constantin
- Description
- Designer Bio
A work of art that is currently
part of the Ultramobile collection, this piece was designed by Studio Simon as
an homage to the work of Constantin Brancusi. Derived from the Romanian
artist’s universe, the two elements are industrially manufactured, and work
perfectly together, conferring an elegant feeling of movement and continuity.
This side table features a waxed oak base, while the thin round top is made of
brass.

Studio Simon |
Dino Gavina, (1922-2007), began his career in the 40's
working on stage sets, a great passion of his. He was convinced that design
needed to be both modern and richly poetic, and soon began to gain support from
many of the country's leading designers and architects: "fathers of the
country", as he jokingly refers to them, including Carlo Scarpa, Enzo
Mari, Marcel Breuer, to name but a few.
His work in those years was an important starting
point for what then came to be known as Italian Style, and has since come to
stand for top quality, giving Italian design the prestigious reputation that it
still enjoys today throughout the whole world. |
