Rosa Chair | Carla Tolomeo
Rosa Chair by Carla Tolomeo
Vintage circa 1980’s
Made in Italy
H 160 cm x W 100 cm x D 60 cm. SH 52cm
Carla Tolomeo was born in Pinerolo (TO), but she grew up and studied in Rome where she was formed as painter. As she herself wrote in the presentation of her first catalogue dedicated to the Chairs - Sculptures, her philosophy is the mutation/transformation of any object into an artistic object, beginning with the simplest household item: a chair. Encouraged by her life’s experiences, her studies, the memory of her old teacher, Giorgio de Chirico, Carla Tolomeo is capable of transforming the chair into a totem, a fish movement, a gigantic flower etc. Her Chairs - Sculptures become something magical that brings to mind memories of our infancy, with the mischievousness of a well-lived life.
