209 - Matteo Thun (born in 1952)

Matteo Thun (born in 1952) Sculpture "Vasi da colorare" Collection Partially glazed ceramic Bears the designer’s studio stamp on the bottom: "Matteo Thun Milano" Date of creation: 2015 H43 L31.5 cm During the Memphis era, Matteo Thun made a name for himself with ceramics featuring unexpected shapes and bold colors that broke with functionalist “good taste.” The Vasi da colorare collection, designed in 2015, recaptures that spirit with a more subdued aesthetic: the glaze, applied in patches, interacts with the unglazed clay. This sculpture offers a balanced interpretation of the collection, being almost as wide as it is tall.
