Marcello Morandini
Marcello Morandini is one of the most important representatives of constructivist art. His fields of activity comprise design and architecture.
Basically, he deals with geometric structures, which he
transforms into new shapes by means of motion and alteration. This
representation of courses of motion opens up new perspectives and
dimensions for the perception of the surrounding world.
Morandini has been working for PHILIP Möbelmanufaktur since 1979. Amongs his
most famous works in the limited art edition are the sculptures »Onda
costrutta« (100 pieces), the vase objects »Arcus« (200 pieces),
»Movimento« (150 pieces) and as part of the "Hommage | Philip
Rosenthal" collection the relief »Chapeau Philip« (49) and the chess game »Morandini« (99).
In 1984 he designed the »Kunstdruck Nr. 1« for the »Paravent« of
the PHILIP Möbelmanufaktur furniture line. His furniture solitaires »Corner« made in
1985, available in three variants, either serve as partition for the
purpose of interior design, as wall shelf or as display unit. In 1986
he created the facade of the Thomas am Kulm factory in Speichersdorf,
in the following year the facade of the newly erected building of the
headquarters "Spiegelhaus" in Selb. In 1990 he designed the
shelf-system »Mobile« for PHILIP Möbelmanufaktur furniture line.
