Sicilian artist, born in 1977, Arcangelo Favata took his degree
in sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania.
In 2002 he was mentioned for a thesis titled DAL RIFIUTO
ALL'AMORE PER LE COSE (FROM RUBBISH TO LOVE FOR THINGS
).
For him the concept of rubbish does not exist in nature, because
everything can have another life. This is the idea which his seats
are based on, completely built recycling and assembling obsolete
materials found in the streets of Torino, where he has been living
for a couple of years.
So, recycled wood platforms found in supermarkets become furnishing
elements, like the Pallet seat; waste wood (chipboard,
multilayer, plywood, laminated wood, etc...) become a tribute
seat to Paul Klee; and in the spirit of a seat can take shape
an old chest of drawers, whose memory is preserved by its original
elements.
