Beautiful Mess

Beautiful Mess

Just like the β€œcreature”, the canonical elements are all here - a supporting structure, arms, lamps, and a cable - but Marcantonio’s irreverent borderline approach, somewhere between art and design, has brought to life a new, deconstructed silhouette, created by mixing shapes, materials, and styles, all apparently belonging to the semantic area of lighting, although from different times and places. Lots of Murano blown glass arms with a white frosted finish emerge from the central structure in white metal; the joints have rosettes and bobeches in crystal from Bohemia, stolen from the mid-18th century traditions of Venice. As ideal pendants, the designer has inserted a gas lamp, a classic bedside lamp with fabric shade, a glass bell, a lamp with a flexible arm, and even a 1980s-style neon bar. The mix also has no shortage of little β€œintruders” like a leaping fish in glass and a pink neon heart, providing the only note of colour.

Marcantonio

Marcantonio, born '76. He attended the Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts, and began a career as a set designer - sculptor. The first productions see him both as an artist, working directly for collectors, and as an interior designer, creating shops and premises for individuals. Since 2001 Marcantonio has dedicated himself to art and industrial design, bringing an unpredictable, sculptural and emotional aspect to the world of design, becoming in recent years one of the most appreciated Italian art designers of his generation. Marcantonio means creative expressions pure, daily and simple, but at the same time artistic, his creations are combinations between the object of memory and a provocative interpretation of the same. A recurring theme of Marcantonio’s production is the relationship between man and nature, as man alters the natural original, an attraction to nature and its unattainable beauty. Thus, often, the subjects are of natural, animal evocation, and the result is a new, experimental, unexpected design. Currently Marcantonio, in addition to taking care of his independent production as an artist, in which he creates bronzes and limited edition sculptures, collaborates with many national and international brands.
