Giuseppe Rivadossi (Nave, July 8, 1935)
"Romanino" table, late 70s
Cm 76 x 175 x 74
Oak top supported by two linear legs ending, in the lower and upper part, with cross beams that allow a solid blocking of the top and a secure support of the table on the ground.
The legs are joined by a horizontal axis fixed to them by ingenious couplings
Made with very thick boards worked with a gouge, giving great relief to the grain of the wood, this elegant and linear table has all the peculiar characteristics of the Master's creations.
Particular attention is also paid to the joints (see those joining the legs to the large horizontal crosspiece and between the legs and the top) which, in addition to securely blocking the various parts that make up the table, give it great aesthetic appeal.
Inheriting his interest in art from his father Clemente, Rivadossi officially began his artistic career in the sixties, approaching the study of furniture and sculpture in wood, plaster, terracotta and bronze.
There are therefore many materials used in his creations, always inspired by man, his values and "living by him.
Works by Maestro Giuseppe Rivadossi are present in institutional venues and in important private collections.
Giuseppe Rivadossi says:
I have seen wood work since I was a child.
Up until the 1960s", where I now live, the relationship between man and nature was still based on ancient ethics.
Then came industry and with it began looting.
The hope of a less harsh life soon turned into a bitter realization.
New technology that was supposed to be just a more perfected tool turned out to be a tool of general frustration and disruption.
In this situation I feel more and more deeply the need to express that sense of basic unity of existence, as a basic idea not to be lost or to be rediscovered at all costs every day and in everything.
Now these images, these sculptures and these pieces of furniture are born from the depths of my experience like a song, of that hope and that only alternative that stands before us rather than nostalgia for the past.
The work, like all our other objects, will be sold accompanied by certificates of authenticity and lawful origin.
