Paravento Balla
In 1917, Giacomo Balla designed a folding screen that was, above all, a proposition. As one of Italian Futurism's most committed voices, Balla believed the aesthetic convictions of an avant-garde movement belonged in the domestic interior, not only on the gallery wall. This three-panel screen was his answer.
The composition centers on a vivid orange ground animated by interlocking green and yellow geometric motifs, a palette that reads as both period-specific and perpetually alive. Cassina's reissue preserves Balla's original compositional logic without revision, adding satin brass hinges that carry the warmth of the color fields into the object's architecture.
- Three-panel folding screen configuration
- Orange ground with green and yellow geometric motifs
- Satin brass hinges
- Originally designed by Giacomo Balla, 1917
- Reissued by Cassina as part of the I Maestri collection
The Paravento Balla occupies a room the way a painting occupies a wall: with intention. It is a piece of furniture that carries its historical moment without being diminished by it.
