Torri del Tempo Perduto - Number 07

Leonardo Cappellini
 
Wooden sculptures and vase covers
 
Crafted from locally sourced fig wood from the forests of Compiobbi, Cappellini’s Torri del Tempo Perduto (“Towers of Lost Time”) reimagine architectural relics as living sculptures.
Each tower is carved, turned, and pyrographed by hand, its open windows allowing light — or flowers — to animate the form.
 
These works merge solidity and delicacy: the permanence of wood with the transience of nature. Designed to hold floral stems or stand as contemplative sculptures, they embody the timeless dialogue between man and nature, structure and growth.
