Cubic metal and glass bar cart by Lorenzo Burchiellaro, 1970s







Cube-shaped bar trolley with wheels and a structure made of metal with a circular void on each side, the top and bottom of the trolley is made of glass. The trolley was designed by Lorenzo Burchiellaro, a living Italian designer born in Venice in 1933. Burchiellaro's works are mainly made of metal: bronze, pewter, zinc, aluminium, gold and silver, but mainly copper. The colours are the result of natural processes initiated with the application of acids, oxidation and fire that contribute to giving his works a chromatism that is never the same; a chromatism that is the result - often unpredictable - of a particular dosage of acid and fire and the atmospheric conditions of the moment. Another constant in Lorenzo Burchiellaro's research has been to privilege emptiness rather than fullness; in this way the space surrounding the object becomes that thing that 'happens' from which we learn to see form in another way. All this takes place within a continuous experimentation that is possible thanks to a complete mastery of techniques and materials.
