BRUTO By altreforme

BRUTO, raw vision of the Raw&Rainbow collection
Brutus in name and essence, yet outstanding in appearance, BRUTO tells of aluminum as a hymn to the material, the technology and the formal refinement.
Bruto is part of the Raw&Rainbow collection – a limited edition of 10 sculptures celebrating altreforme’s tenth anniversary.

Raw&Rainbow , an iconic 10th anniversary collection, is dedicated to the two souls of altreforme: the material and the pop.
A celebration of aluminum in its pure form and its colorful, pop soul: altreforme's dichotomy takes shape in the special collection Raw&Rainbow – 10 iconic objects designed by young representatives of Italian design.

“For altreforme’s tenth anniversary, I wanted to celebrate the two souls of this brand: the material one, dedicated to the purity and flexibility of aluminum, and the pop one, inspired by our colorful surfaces.
I selected five young Italian designers whose distinctive creative style impressed me and asked them each to create two iconic objects—one raw and material, the other in the colors of the rainbow—to tell these ten years through their personal perspectives."
—Valentina Fontana Castiglioni

To celebrate its history, altreforme has drawn inspiration from five great names in Italian design: Antonio Aricò (in his second collaboration with altreforme), Serena Confalonieri, Marcantonio, Alessandro Zambelli and the duo Zanellato/Bortotto.
Raw&Rainbow was born from the creativity of this multifaceted team, led by Valentina Fontana Castiglioni – founder and art director of the brand.
Each artist was invited to create two objects – one with a raw soul, as a tribute to the material, and one in rainbow colors to show that old, reformed aluminum can be transformed into a pop and ironic material.
Ten true works of art that will go down in history – not just in the history of altreforme, but also in the history of the design world as a whole.
