This tree sculpture is made of poplar wood, the base of walnut wood. The sculpture was born to experiment and develop the technique of shaping and bending wood, in 2021. This piece triggered several projects around trees.

Evoke the Baroque with extravagance
- • Giuseppe designs and crafts unmistakable pieces
- • His production is marked by curved lines
- • He developed his own method to work wood
Raised in the workshop of his father, a restorer, Giuseppe Bruno also trained as a wood sculptor to satisfy his own creative expression. These two paths he merged by founding MobiliStorti ("crooked furniture"). He creates wooden furniture, sculptures, lamps, in which he combines his aptitude for research into shapes and different types of wood with his historical sensitivity. Giuseppe has developed his own method of adapting wood to his design vision. The pieces of wood are first shaped and fitted into each other, then sculpted as a single unit. To Giuseppe technique is a means to an end, and what matters the most are ideas and harmony. “With my creations I try to bring nature back into homes,” he says. This ambition co-exists with wanting to create surreal furniture with irony, influenced by Piedmontese Baroque.

Lampada Albero
This tree structure is made of poplar wood, the base is walnut wood. The sculpture was born to experiment and develop the technique of shaping and bending wood, in 2021. This piece triggered several projects around trees. The transformation of this sculpture into a lamp came later.

Mobile Albero
The tree structure is in poplar wood, the box cabinet and the base are in ancient chestnut wood. Here Giuseppe Bruno is inspired by nature not only for the shape of the tree, but for the strategy of reconquest nature adopts in the areas exploited and abandoned by human beings, with so-called pioneer trees.

This piece of furniture was made on commission. Like so many pieces of Giuseppe Bruno’s surrealist and ironic furniture, which are meant to both entertain and evoke the Baroque artistic tradition, this sideboard reinterprets the past with joy and freedom. The red structure in poplar creates a strong contrast with the doors and drawers in elm briar.

Buco Nero
This walnut wood sculpture was inspired by the picture of the first black hole ever photographed in history. It draws a continuous line rolling up on itself and imprisoning the upper part as it tries to get out of this embrace. This sculpture is a prototype of the technique later developed by Giuseppe Bruno in his tree project series.
