ROBERTO MATA BY PARADISOTERRESTE
Seminal figure of the Surrealist Movement and mentor of various exponents of Abstract Expressionism, Roberto Matta (1911-2002) is one of the most interesting artists of 20th century, with his production between art and design.
In the mid-’60s, he started a collaboration with Dino Gavina that led to the creation of iconic design pieces such as Malitte (1966) and for the Ultramobile collection (1971) Margarita, Sacco Alato and MAgriTTA.
Since 2019 Paradisoterrestre has been steadily collaborating with Alisée Matta in the re-editions of iconic design pieces designed between the 60s and 70s by her father, legendary surrealist artist Roberto Matta for Dino Gavina, historic founder of the brand. After the success of the participation in Arte Fiera 2023 with a monographic booth dedicated to the artist, Paradisoterrestre takes part in the exhibition curated by The Design Blender and Alisée Matta where re-editions of the functional works of art Margarita and Sacco Alato and of Malitte seating system dialogue with prototypes and historical pieces coming directly from Matta Archives.
