Mimmo Rotella - Table

The work, inspired by Mimmo Rotella's celebrated décollages, draws on a Pop aesthetic in its use of popular or mass-produced images. Pop Art emerged in the United States in the second half of the 20th century as a result of artists' interest in and critique of the contemporary "consumer society." All expressions of Pop Art presuppose a sort of dual connection with the world of consumerism and mass media. This table, whose decoration was inspired by a work by Mimmo Rotella, can be considered a Pop aesthetic in its use of contemporary icons, famous faces from film and entertainment.

This table is a truly original design object with a striking aesthetic. Indeed, it can be considered a work by Mimmo Rotella in every sense of the word, as it was created using a specially patented printing process, sublimating the Calabrian artist's décollage image onto a zinc plate. Thus, the table's surface presents a work by Rotella, transforming his poetics of snatches and cinematic icons into design.

Mimmo Rotella (Catanzaro 1918-Milan 2006) was an artist deeply engaged in experimenting with new artistic languages ​​in the second half of the 20th century. After some experiments with phonetic poetry, he created his first décollages in 1954. In Paris, he participated in the Nouveau Réalisme movement, and his interest in the poetics of mechanical processes was also expressed through the creation of Mec-art, or processes of serial image transcription.
