Presentation of the new works by João Lacerda Moreira at Fabio and Davide Novello Showroom
In this gallery, located in Venice, very close to the Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal, one can find a selection of antiques and masterpieces of Italian and international design, especially designers from 1930 until 1990.
This is an interesting address for collectors and anyone who finds pleasure in decorating with original pieces. Here one can find furniture, lamps and accessories by Ignazio Gardella, Franco Albini, Massimo Vignelli and Tomaso Buzzi, among others.
Patch stool and chair (2023) are born from the idea of revisiting tradition and reusing scraps of Venetian fabrics by assembling them in a disorganised way, simplifying the process with immediate and, in a certain sense, anonymous shapes. The identity of the materials used is intended to suggest an idea of comfort and lightness.
