Marco Ripa, craftsman and designer, runs “officina Art & Craft“. Through it he produces unique and bespoke furniture pieces in iron and steel. Born in 1977, at the age of 15 Marco entered the workshop to learn the craft of an artisan. He chose iron as his signature metal because it’s dirty, noisy and rejects repetition.
Marco Ripa recently has created “Who’s next”, it’s a magazine rack based on the overlapping of a cube and a parallelepiped, of which we are able to see only the essential structure, just what is necessary to create the shape, in a positive-negative game where you can tell what there is and what there is not.
