Arso (coat hanger)

The design of this hand forged coat hanger is inspired by the memory of one of the most painful plagues in Francesca Frau's region, that of forest fires. Arso represents the image of a tree after the passage of fire, stripped of its leaves and the worn stem, but still standing. New buds, ready to bloom on the tip of the branches symbolise hope. The branches are made using techniques of tapering and forging, the base in plasma cut iron sheet, and the overall piece finished with a rust-colour finish.
