About the Item
“Uomini e Animali” is a unique wall sculpture by Italian artist Davide Moretto, entirely handcrafted in forged Corten steel and illuminated by a concealed warm white LED system (CRI 98+). Each segment of the composition is hammered, stretched and shaped by hand on the anvil, creating a dynamic web of linear figures that abstractly suggest the coexistence of human and animal forms. The work reads like a drawing in space, where iron replaces the graphite line and shadow becomes an active part of the composition.
Moretto’s sculptural language resonates with the expressive tension of Alberto Giacometti, the spatial metal structures of Harry Bertoia, and the tradition of Italian forged-iron craft. The natural oxidation of Corten steel gives depth and material presence, while the integrated lighting transforms the piece into a luminous installation: sculpture and light merged into a single gesture.
This is a one-of-a-kind work, signed by the artist. Ideal for collectors of contemporary Italian sculpture, hospitality interiors, gallery walls, or architectural spaces seeking a piece that is both poetic and sculptural.

Davide Moretto
Davide Moretto is an artist-designer whose work sits at the intersection of art, design, and craftsmanship. Based in Treviso, he creates one-of-a-kind pieces that combine historic materials and contemporary design sensibility. His practice involves the recovery and transformation of antique Murano glass fragments, reclaimed wood from Venetian briccole, and hand-forged iron, giving new life to elements that carry the memory of the lagoon.
His production ranges from lighting and seating to sculptural tables, each characterized by a profound respect for materials and exceptional technical mastery in wrought iron. Every piece is handcrafted, bearing the traces of both time and human touch — merging the traditions of Venetian artisanship with an expressive, modern language.
