Description

SANDRO PETTI (Rome, 1927) for Maison Jansen. Large table lamp, 70s. Lucite. In good condition. In working order. May show minor flaws and wear. Measurements: 52 x 25 x 25 x 28 cm. This lamp is distinguished by its constructivist character based on geometric shapes harmoniously assembled. The artist plays with the transparency of lucite, a type of plastic widely used as an alternative to glass in its leaf form. Architect, landscape painter and painter, Sandro Petti has always been in contact with art: from his upbringing on the island of Ischia, in the salons of the famous painters Colucci, regularly frequented by figures such as De Filippo, De Sica and the painters Casciaro and Carrà or in the city of Rome, where he hosted in his studios artists such as De Chirico, D'Orazio, Guttuso, Monachesi, Rotella and many others. Petti has important creations both in Italy and abroad, characterized by his unmistakable Mediterranean architectural style. Also the creator and sometimes director of important nightclubs such as the "Jackie 'O" in Rome, "La Mela" in Naples, the "Aragona Castle" and the "'O Rangio Fellone" in Ischia. After leaving Rome a few years ago, he lived on the Green Island, actively engaged in the study of interventions aimed at improving the traffic and aesthetics of the city. The piece is associated with Maison Jansen, who specialized in interior design. The firm was inaugurated in 1880, by Jean-Henri Jansen of Dutch origin, although the firm was established in Paris. Due to its long history, it is considered one of the first design companies of international projection. Its aesthetics were based on French furniture combined with aesthetic influences from various parts of the world.

SANDRO PETTI (Rome, 1927) for Metalarte. Coffee table, 1970s. Brass and lucite. Glass top. In good condition. May show signs of wear due to the passage of time. The glass has a central scratch visible in the photo. It has a slight damage in one of the corners. Measurements: 41 x 138 x 60 cm. Cylindrical structures with brass details make up the legs of this table. They communicate with each other by means of two curved crosspieces, in the shape of a spade, which meet in the center. The artist plays with the transparency of lucite, a type of plastic widely used as an alternative to glass, and with the glass itself (for the table top). The result is a true ode to elegance and sophistication.
