Chest of drawers Annabella Mario Ceroli series for Poltronova, Italy, 1972

Chest of drawers “Annabella” series, Mario Ceroli for Poltronova, Italy, 1972 The natural wood surfaces, worked with mastery, reveal the living and imperfect material, the artist’s distinctive feature. The aesthetic is typical of Ceroli, which combines references to the Italian artisan tradition with a contemporary and poetic language, evoking suggestions between Arte Povera and Pop. Carrozzeria900 is pleased to present these pieces in an exhibition dedicated to Mario Ceroli, entitled “Teatro Domestico”. The exhibition brings together a nucleus of wooden furnishings conceived by the artist from a country house. This collection includes chairs, tables, armchair, sofas, a bed, a chest of drawers and a window, all elements that make up an authentic artist’s interior, a place where the boundary between design and art dissolves into a theater of forms, presences and memories, in fact, a Domestic Theater. Provenance: private collection.
