Salvino Marsura Stalattiti chair

The Stalattiti chair stands like a vertical shard of industrial sculpture, its slender frame crowned by a jagged grille of welded metal that evokes the natural geometry of crystallised stalactites.

The piece is in good vintage condition and features fragments of pigment.

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.
