  • The organic lines of the wild olive burl are sculpted so as to form the outline of the Island, from the depths of which light drops emerge, worked in plastic form in mirror-polished steel, so as to symbolise life with its sorrow and joy.

  • Thin waves of forged steel rise from the granite sphere, symbol of a living planet that grows like a tree in symbiosis with the entire planet. Sculpture in Orosei granite and hand-forged steel.

  • In the warm texture of wood, the outlines of a new life can be seen, a concept further expressed through the steel element intended to emphasize the connection with the womb. The work is entirely handmade on an oleaster tree root and forged steel.

  • The fine organic forms of the olive burl are arranged in symmetrical shapes in this original sculpture in which the perfect formal balance symbolises nature, whilst the drop-shaped element in polished steel increases its creative force.

  • The shapes of natural stone suggest a minimal intervention, a polished steel wire reinforces the concept of an icy material; the work is inspired by nature and the transition phases of solid and liquid forms.

The artisan

Renato Bugiotti explores the charm of materials; the artist and metalsmith is an artisan skilled in the production of art objects, rich in charisma. Born in Fossombrone, in the province of Pesaro e Urbino, he moved to Sardinia in the Centre of Orosei at the age of two; Renato cares and develops the personal artistic sensitivity, learning and refining a number of techniques. He makes objects of different shapes, colours and surfaces, involving the use of all senses: steel, worked and shaped, is put together with other durable materials. They are objects designed to blend into the environment, to match furnishings, inspired by a precious uniqueness and Renato exhibits his work at exhibitions and fairs.

The collection

The production essentially consists of artistic objects made of different materials capable of giving style to furnishing and living spaces in different contexts. The theme mainly studies is the drop, a shape that Renato crafts with sinuous contrast between the perceptions of fluid and solid matter.

The technique

The objects combine hand-forged steel, enriched with details of mirror-polished finish, with wood and stone carved and finished by hand.
