A wooden centerpiece designed by Riccardo Masini in Italy, made from eucalyptus heartwood (radica di eucalipto) and dating from circa 2020, with dimensions 40.5 cm W x 11.5 cm H x 40.5 cm D and in excellent condition.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Eucalyptus root recovered on the Lazio coast in 2019 and processed the following year.
Beautiful reddish-brown color, the result of natural finishes and the passage of time.
Being worked on while the wood was still fresh, this centerpiece, after obsessively monitoring the drying for months, has naturally warped, altering its shape from regular to irregular.
Uneven base and slightly wobbly (upon request it can be stabilized before shipping)
Item sold directly from the artist's studio.
Brief Bio
Riccardo Masini - Born in 1984 - A professional wood sculptor, with a deep relationship with the tree.
Graduated from the 'La Truciolara' school with French master and artist Claude Arragon, then continued his studies with Italian master Giacomo Malaspina and professor and artist Roberto Mannino at the School of Arts and Crafts of Rome.
After an initial investigation into the shape and volume of objects with the collections Forma e Volume, Rovine e Forme Pure, he approached the study of high-altitude plants with the collection Baikà 梅花.
