After the success of “Giraffe in love” Qeeboo is enriched with another magical character bearing the signature of Marcantonio: Turtle Carry is a nice multipurpose turtle, its carapace acts as a support for a series of accessories. The result is a family of products based on a basic element, a turtle, carrying, in turn, a bookcase, a coffee table, a pouf or a planter. Once again Marcantonio is inspired by the natural world and its bizarre forms and he is able to translate them into artistic concepts capable of bringing sophisticated irony to our homes.
MARCANTONIO
Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba was born in 1976 in Massalombarda, Italy. He attended the Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts.
Just graduated he begins to work in the theater scene and collaborating with architects on projects. Soon he begins to create unique pieces of design in parallel with a production of art, but step by step the two careers are beginning to become contaminated. So its design is enriched with artistic concepts. For over 10 years he worked for private or local public realizes. Connections between Man and Nature are his favourite theme; interpreting both dynamics and beauties of nature; showing Man’s attitude affecting the original. He loves thinking about his work as a direct continuation of what he used to do when he was a child, playing with everything he finds, and create what his mind imagined. Actually, looking for the aesthetic component and concept, takes ideas from the same sources he created while playing, daydreaming with everything that normally surrounds him. He learned from Art how an idea could be elegant, that’s why he’s always looking for pure concepts and summary.
“I never give up irony; the irony is a serious matter. If a good idea is even fun, I cannot resist realizing it”
Marcantonio.
