TOURMulT8
Design by Matteo DeVecchi
MulT8 came about from the desire to "re-dress" an iconic object (the T8 candelabra designed by Piero De Vecchi in 1947), with PVC tubing in various textures and colours. A way of combining the industrial with the handmade, of transforming an object that had always been limited to a single substance into one composed of two different -- and dissimilar -- materials. A simple, ready-made intervention that honours the original production techniques and yet manages to playfully re-interpret a pre-existing object. The outcome will surprise and delight.
Composition: Metal, PVC

Depth: 11.7 Inches
Height: 9.8 Inches

The De Vecchi Milano Company 1935 was founded by Piero De Vecchi, a sculptor and engraver, who became part of the futuristic movement at a very young age. In 1962 Piero De Vecchi’s son Gabriele, who was already one of the leading artists in the field of Programmed and Kinetic Art, took over as head of the company. He began a project based on the reflective qualities of silver, which led him to analyse the interaction between object and environment. This became the foundation of the renowned De Vecchi style: best exemplified by his 2001 Slow Drink carafe collection, his kinetic gold and diamond dress rings - nominated for the 2001 XIX Gold Compass Award - and the 2004 Kinetic Napkin Rings collection.
