About the Item

Segretaria a Pranzo rejoices in the materiality and possibilities of iron. It explores how the material’s properties allow for curves and bends and how its weight makes cantilevered construction possible. The piece features coloured pigments. It is in good condition with some scuffs, featuring 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.
