Salvino Marsura Al di Là chair

The Al di Là chair is a restrained work in forged iron, defined by its slender vertical back rising beyond the seated plane. A taut leather seat introduces warmth, suspended within a structure that celebrates line and negative space.

The piece is in good condition, with patination and wear consistent with age and use.

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.
