Salvino Marsura Girare stool

Gently hugged by a functional ellipse, the finely honed legs of this stool rest on faintly rounded feet. A cushioned seat makes this a practical perch yet one that retains a sculptural presence.

The piece is in good condition, and has been recently reupholstered in a black cotton velvet fabric. 

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.
