First to exhibit his creations in Paris, Elisabeth Delacarte fell under the spell of Andrea Salvetti's art furniture. Overflowing the boundaries of design, the artist's naturalist philosophy imbues his creations with poetry and imposes his offbeat look.
Sculptor, designer, culinary performer, he was above all an artist inspired by the same source: Nature. His works freeze the organic beauty in metal, wood or marble and continue to surprise, with its mirrors-trunk, seat-leaf, tables-foliage or buffet-grove.
His gallerist Élisabeth Delacarte describes her work as "the art of celebrating the plant kingdom and preserving its vivid beauty from the time trial".
Andrea Salvetti created his furniture to accompany his dreams, dreams in which nature saves Man.
