Aldo Tura Tobacco Goatskin Planter Italy 1990
This elegant Aldo Tura planter has a wooden frame covered with tobacco color goatskin, varnished in clear acrylic lacquer.
This particular planter was executed, circa 1990 and is in perfect condition. Along with artists like Piero Fornasetti and Carlo Bugatti, Aldo Tura (1909-1963) definitely belonged to the mavericks of Italian design. Where as the former chose abundant figurative decorations as his hallmark, Bugatti and Tura focussed on applying a specific material. Tura founded his workshop in Milan in 1939 and the company has been in operation ever since.
