  Bioma (2016/2019)

  By Imperfettolab

  Based out of a workshop in Italy, Imperfettolab's name is derived not from the flaws of an imperfect object but rather from the unique and exclusive qualities of the studio's handcrafted outputs. The Bioma chair is reminiscent of a piece of tree bark, skilfully recreated in all its ripples, supported and lifted by a metal structure. Limited, certified and numbered edition.

  ALBERTO BURRI

  Materials of reconstruction

  Known for ‘painting without paint’, Burri would tear, stitch, burn and batter his creations into submission. In the words of the Italian critic, Emilio Vila, Burri’s works were “nourished by matter that conserves only a tragic reminiscence of painting, almost as if it were asphyxiated; a material that is devitalised, impoverished, rotted, consumed and already wasted away”.
