Wooden parchment jug with brass handle and jug. The carafe still has the original label. Created by Aldo Tura, in Italy in the middle of the century.
Aldo Tura is an experimental furniture designer who has been producing tables, wardrobes and lamps manually since the 1930s. In 1939 he founded his own furniture workshop in Lombardy. His stylistic mix between Art Deco and Art Nouveau with a minimalist design has surpassed the limits of traditional craftsmanship. Following the Art Deco movement, which focused on straight lines and angles, Tura's designs contained fluid lines and free forms. The limited edition of Tura's works is of high quality craftsmanship, some pieces exist only as prototypes. In his projects he has used a variety of unusual materials, such as egg shells, parchment, goatskin and wood veneers. His objects are often kept in red, green and yellow (more rare in dark blue or purple), sometimes they were also equipped with wheels or wheels and accessories in bronze or brass.
When in the post-war years many furniture manufacturers relied on mass production, Tura remained faithful to traditional craftsmanship.
The Brooklyn Museum in New York exhibits some of Tura's works, which were originally part of the travelling exhibition Italia at Work.
The company Tura of Lazzate continues to produce furniture.
