By Fortunato Depero
Located in Vigonza, Padua
Exceptional pair of armchairs, all original futurist, with footrest, 1920s attributed to Fortunato Depero with original futurist velvet upholstery still usable. The seats were recovered in the Trento-Rovereto area, and are attributed to Depero himself, produced by the “Casa d’Arte Futurista” in Rovereto. Measurements cm: armchairs H84/40 W64 D75 - pouf H43 W43 D43 About Fortunato Depero From: "The Art Post Blog del 13 Luglio 2013" Fortunato Depero (1892–1960) was an Italianfuturist painter, writer, sculptor and graphic designer. It was with Balla in 1915 that he wrote the manifesto Ricostruzione futurista dell’universo (“Futurist Reconstruction of the Universe”) which expanded upon the ideas introduced by the other futurists. In 1919 Depero founded the “Casa d’Arte Futurista” (House of Futurist Art) in Rovereto, which specialised in producing toys, tapestries and furniture in the Futurist style. In 1925 he represented the futurists at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts). The 1928 saw Depero move to New York City, where he experienced a degree of success, doing costumes for stage productions and designing covers for magazines including MovieMaker, The New Yorkerand Vogue, among others. In 1930 he returned to Italy. In 1930 he returned to Italy and began a fruitful collaboration with Campari, and few people know that the bottle of Campari Soda was designed by Depero. The famous single-dose bottle of a truncated cone was designed in 1932 by Fortunato Depero and has remained as such, without undergoing redesign or adaptation to our times. This is a piece of futurism still alive, has succeeded in bringing the art in life.
