Salvino Marsura Micorizze screen

Taking his cue from mycorrhiza, the symbiotic relationship between fungi and plants, Marsura crafted a space divider that is as practical as it is playful.  

The piece is in good condition, featuring fragments of pigment and 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.
