This sculptural rectangular coffee table can be displayed in almost any modern or classic living room. It is a very sinuos and voluptuous piece. Last but not the least, this table has an incredible patina on it and it is in very good condition (with no cracks or chips either on the glass and/or the cement chassis).
Claudio Trevi (1928 - 1987), born in Padua in 1928, soon moved to Alto Adige with his family, first to Villabassa and then to Bolzano, in 1936. Starting from 1940 he attended for three years, thanks to a studio grant, the art school of Ortisei. His expressive independence and the mastery of the materials that characterizes him soon lead him to detach himself from the Gardena sculptural tradition in search of his own expressive ways. At the turn of the 1940s and 1950s, Trevi's production turned to religious subjects, portraits, figurines of acrobats, jugglers and mourners, which quickly made him known, so much so that the commission to create the "Monument to the Partisan" in Bolzano " was entrusted to the artist who was then just twenty years old. Among his favorite themes, we remember the many "Maternities", the "Embraces", the "Horses" of the Palio of Siena, the cycle of "Leda and the Swan", the "Kisses". In addition to Bolzano, Trevi was active in Cortina d'Ampezzo and Milan where he had a studio, in two foundries in Verona and in his home-studio, the Bragherino di Coredo in Val di Non. Among his monumental works, the bas-relief for the Post Office building in Cortina d'Ampezzo (1955) and the Maternity for the gynecological clinic of the University of Padua (1959). In 1956 he participated to the Venice Biennale (with a Maternity). Moreover, he was the only sculptor present at the "Visage d'Italie" exhibition organized in 1982 by Olivetti in Paris at the Galeries Lafayette.
