STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN
Nicolò Spinelli
Born Como, Italy, 1985
An Italian Artist, Spinelli creates achingly poetic and architectural sculptural works. He embraces the idea of artist as philosopher, resolute in his belief that a slow, deep, and intentional practice of creation is an act of resistance in a shallow information age. Foregrounding dynamism and fluidity in process over a specific vision of product, Spinelli’s works are nonetheless singular in their integrity, at once intimateLY expressive and passionately researched. He conceives of his works as transformative tools to activate an emotional and intellectual response in the viewer. His works function as poetry, Inviting us to introspection and to become keen interpreters of our own experience
Trained as an architect, SPinelli graduated from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 2012. that same year, he received a Master’s degree in Rome, specializing in Architecture and archeology. In 2014, Spinelli founded his atelier in Monza, Italy, a city renowned for its rich history of heritage craftsmanship. His work has been featured in premier design publications and at leading art and design fairs

MANDORLA
EXCLUSIVELY FOR STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, Spinelli’s mandorla series draws inspiration from its namesake ancient geometric structure from the latin word for almond. These works transcend the boundaries of time and culture, weaving a narrative that seamlessly merges Eastern and Western influences across history. Each work is a testament to Spinelli’s commitment to the essence of mandorla geometry and extensive research into Japanese geometric principles. Spinelli’s distinctive process breathes life into each work: they transcend being mere objects to becomes contemplative journeys through the timeless beauty of cultural convergence
Spinelli works with a team of master artisans in Brianza, Italy — a region renowned for its history of fine craftsmanship — to perfect each sculptural object. Rare louro faia wood becomes the canvas on which spinelli reveals form and symbolism. Through the technique of hard brushing, the wood’s inherent characteristics are brought to the fore, revealing a texture reminiscent of a constellation of small, elegant irregular almonds. With a combination of heritage craftsmanship and an innovative poetic vision, the works explore the interplay between geometric purity of the mandorla and the organic allure of nature. Handcrafted, signed, and with a certificate of authenticity, the mandorla series is a strictly limited edition
