Salvino Marsura Silhouette chair

Forged to follow the ripples and bends found in leaves or water, the Silhouette chair is a result of Marsura’s incisive perception of nature. The chair’s back, perhaps inspired by seaweed or reeds, finishes with an organically wrought ogee. 

The piece is in good condition with some scuffs. The iron features patination true to its age. 

Salvino Marsura (1938-2020) was an artisan metalworker. After learning his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor and ‘iron poet’ Toni Benetton, he spent more than 60 years producing sculpture, furniture, objects and memorials in his hometown of Treviso, Italy.

Marsura’s 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. His distinctive hand marries elements of brutalism and traditional decorative arts.
