Nino Gobbis used faesite or Masonite as the matrix. Being an industrial material free of natural veins, it allows precise lines and uniform planes and a surface decidedly harder and more durable.
The piece testifies to an era in which Arreda di Celotto furniture, with these inserts, represented the interior decor of the time.

Gobbis collaborated with Arreda di Celotto, which in the 1950s produced furnishings designed by famous Italian architects and designers such as Piero Celotto, commissioning decorative panels from artists like Nino Gobbis to furnish bourgeois houses, offices, hotels or ocean liners. This kind of art blends artistic craftsmanship with design production, integrating sculpture seamlessly into the interior architecture of the era.
The panel has undergone no treatment and retains all its charm.

Nino Gobbis, Italian painter and engraver active in the mid-20th century, a figure deeply tied to the world of designer interiors and Treviso mid-century modernism of the 1950s and 1960s.

These panels are characterized by a typified graphic aesthetic, with motifs reflecting the European avant-gardes of the first half of the century (with geometric and abstract references adapted to the geometric and organic taste of the 1950s).

Statement of provenance

I declare that this panel comes from the private collection of the Celotto family of Montebelluna, which has kept it available since the time of its creation. The work later entered my private collection and is being offered for sale with this provenance statement, issued in good faith.

For shipping the item is protected by either a double layer of plywood or by corrugated cardboard 5 cm thick to prevent damage during transport; unfortunately this affects shipping costs.
