Description

Matteo Thun (born 1952) Totem sculpture ‘Vasi da colorare’ collection Partially glazed ceramic Prototype Bears the artist’s studio mark at the base (incised): ‘Matteo Thun Milano’ Date of creation: 2015 H60 Ø15.5 cm The totem, a vertical and symbolic form, has held a special place in Italian design since the monumental ceramics of Ettore Sottsass, Matteo Thun’s mentor at Memphis. This prototype from the Vasi da colorare collection draws on that principle: a vertical, slender and narrow silhouette, where the alternation of glazed and unglazed areas gives rhythm to the form. Sottsass’s legacy meets a more personal style here, one that is both playful and understated. As a research piece, it bears the incised stamp of the designer’s Milanese studio.
