FABIANART ROMA
FABIANART ROMA
Pair of pedestal columns made of solid transparent Plexiglas, c. 1970–1980
Fabianart Edition, Rome.
Produced by the Italian firm Fabianart Roma, these pedestals exemplify the innovative and exuberant spirit of 1970s Italian design, at the intersection of Pop Art and the Space Age movement. By reinterpreting the codes of ancient and Greco-Roman architecture through the use of transparent, industrial synthetic polymers, the designers achieve a striking light-refracting effect. Serving as display pedestals, sculpture stands, or ceremonial columns, these pieces combine the formal rigor of Neoclassicism with the visual lightness of high-quality transparent plastic.
