Lounge chair in stainless steel, Angelo Brescianini, ca 2008. Sourced straight from the artist's atelier, this one-of-a-kind lounge chair surely has some unique and prestigious characteristics. Equally a sculpture as a functional art piece. Born in Palazzolo sull’Oglio (in the province of Brescia) in 1948, Angelo Brescianini was the youngest of four children. At the age of 12, he participated in his first collective exhibition with other artists and successively attended a school for mechanical designers. In the late 1960s, he made his first bronze sculpture, currently exhibiting at the Enrico Fermi Institute in Palazzolo. In 1968 he carried out military service in Verona, while painting in his free time. During these years, he created his first “shots” on rusty metal sheets. He took part in the Padua Biennial with a painting called “Dolorosa attesa” (Painful waiting) for which he received his first recognition. The title of the artwork is probably related to the anticipation of his long-awaited leave. At the end of his military service, he was hired as a cast iron, bronze, and aluminum operator at a metalworking company, a collaboration he interrupted in 1970 to open a workshop for cabinet-makers. His father was considered one of the best carpenters in the country and Angelo, as a child, lived the fascination of work on fine woods, breathing and learning their essence. He began designing and producing art objects with lathe and other tools, day and night until the late 1970s. During this period, he participated in art fairs and collective exhibitions and met the architect Luca Pastorio, the son of the painter Enzio, with whom he collaborated on several furniture projects. He became part of the artistic staff of the Spirale Arte gallery in Milan. Here he began to design and build wooden objects where he set precious metal plates, bas-reliefs, plaques of famous authors such as Cassinari, Fiume, Munari, Bonalumi and Kodra. Over time he started to abandon the collabo
