Additional Information
Designer: Roberto Aloi
Roberto Aloi was born in 1897 in Palermo, unfortunately he is unable to complete even a cycle of studies. In 1918 we see him in Ravenna with his first personal exhibition, in 1920 he moves to Milan to become part of the "Baguttiani" artistic movement. In 1934 he began to try his hand at architecture and furniture. Since 1936 he has been present at some Venice Biennials, Rome Quadriennials and foreign exhibitions. It is inspired by different currents: symbolism, liberty and futurism. In 1958 he experimented with sculpture with embossing in copper, silver and gold, which are then exhibited in many churches.Production: Italiana
Main essence: Ash Tree
Ash wood is divided into two types. The first, white ash, is obtained from the fraxinus americana which grows in North America and Europe, is very elastic and resistant but subject to woodworm. It is used in the construction of furniture and more rarely as an ornament. The second type, the common ash, is obtained from the fraxinus excelsior which grows in Europe, northwestern Africa and western Asia, and was used by English and American cabinetmakers to make chairs.Material:
