211 - Matteo Thun (born in 1952)

Matteo Thun (born in 1952) Lamp Ceramic and wooden base Alessio Sarri Edition, Prototype Signed at the bottom with the designer’s stamp “Matteo Thun Atelier” Date of creation: 2015 H33 Ø21 cm (without shade) This 2015 prototype is part of a series of ceramic lamps that Matteo Thun developed in collaboration with Alessio Sarri’s studio in Tuscany. The small size, suitable for a nightstand or desk, highlights the quality of the clay and glaze, balanced by a wooden base. For Thun—co-founder of Memphis who went on to become an architect specializing in hotels and buildings—ceramics remain a realm of creative freedom, where a household object becomes a small sculpture.
