About The Artwork
The Duo Tone series came out of the From-To exhibition curated by Martino Gamper for the Salone del Mobile exhibition in Milan, 2015. International designers were invited to work in collaboration with artisans from the Veneto region. The project was commissioned by Confartigianato and CNA Vicenza, local Italian confederations for artisans. For the exhibition Gamper worked with a ceramics studio in Vicenza, using local pottery traditions. The Duo Tone series is a result of this collaboration.
About Martino Gamper
Martino Gamper is an Italian furniture designer living and working in London across art and design. Gamper is renowned for his project 100 Chairs in 100 Days, where he made a new chair a day for a hundred days by collaging together bits of chairs that he found discarded on the street or in friends’ homes. Blending found stylistic and structural elements, he generated perverse, poetic, and humorous hybrids.
Gamper's wider practice engages in a variety of projects from exhibition design, interior design and one-off pieces to the design of thoughtfully mass-produced products for the cutting edge of the international furniture industry.
Gamper was awarded an OBE in 2023 for services to Design.
