Anacleto Spazzapan ‘fiore’ handmade metal art lounge chair
The FIORE armchair, by Anacleto Spazzapan, is an entirely handmade designer piece of furniture, made with 5 mm thick metal wire with a shape inspired by nature. Anacleto Spazzapan, born in Luino (VA) in 1943, lives in Stezzano (Bergamo). He graduated as a surveyor and attended the Military School of Caserta Officers. He has tried his hand at various jobs: designer, production assistant, renovations and trade.
In 2011, already retired, he created B&B projects with his wife Barbara, and designs about a hundred furnishing objects. The production of these furnishing accessories is made with a technique he invented that allows him to use only 3 and 5 millimeter iron rods. A minimal logo, a minimal material for amazing creations ranging from baroque to contemporary style. It suits every setting. The epoxy powder coating protects the iron from rust; the metal is treated with a black zinc primer paint.It is a minimalist-style object with an iron rod essential structure.
Colour: Black.
ANACLETO SPAZZAPAN: was born in Luino in 1943. In recent years the Italian designer, artist and craftsman discovered and reported to the local authorities an archaeological site in Java, Indonesia. To help two unemployed welders in his area, the designer began to create furnishing pieces, facing a sort of personal challenge: building prototypes of daily use objects with a rather difficult material, the iron rebar.
In this attempt, he created real works of art, which may seem lightweight and delicate at first glance, and are yet sturdy, resistant, extremely functional, and trendy.
Behind each and everyone of his projects lies a concrete and mathematical approach. His projects use mathematical logic and the mathematical concept of progression. The core if his projects remains the item’s functionality, often hidden behind a beautiful and charming look. This creative process is linked to the concrete and pragmatic dimension of design, to what a product ‘is’ rather then what it represents.
