GOMMA is a handmade iron coffee table from Italy designed by Anacleto Spazzapan, measuring 63 × 63 × 20 cm and dating to 2010–2020, and offered in good used condition with minor signs of age and stains.
Description from the seller
The GOMMA coffee table, designed by Anacleto Spazzapan, is a designer piece of furniture made entirely by hand with a 9mm thick metal rod.
Suitable for all types of environments thanks to the use of epoxy powder coating that protects the iron from rusting, while the primer consists of black zinc paint.
The manufacturing technique, the so-called styles, is the 'rough' one where the iron rod is covered with fabric, manually woven by the artisan.
Anacleto Spazzapan: Born in Luino in 1943, in recent years the designer/artist has revolutionized his life as a craftsman, designer, and merchant thanks to discovering an archaeological site in Java, Indonesia, which he himself reported to the local authorities. To enable two unemployed welders in the area to find work, the designer began to focus on furniture objects, taking on a personal challenge: to produce prototypes for everyday use with a rather difficult material: iron rod.
They bring to life true works of art, which at first glance may seem light and delicate, but are in fact absolutely resistant, highly functional, and decidedly up to date.
At the core of each of his projects lies a concrete and mathematical approach. His projects indeed employ the same logic used in mathematics, considering the concepts of logic and mathematical progression; the focus always remains on the very function of an object, beautified and lightened by a more frivolous aspect. It is a creative process linked to the concrete and pragmatic dimension of design, emphasizing what a product is rather than what it represents.
