Funscate

Ask anything

  Hi, I wonder if this is a designer or an endustrial object. I found that Ravineri Castoldi & C is an electrostatic painting manifacture company in Milano. I would appreciate if you share me more info. Sincerely

  Dear Hayati,
  The work has been classified as a design object in the museum collection. The step is furthermore a part of a limited edition which featured two identical steps. Hence, the step can be considered a design object rather than an industrial object.
  Best,
  Frederieke

  Hey,
  I am wondering, how many of those exist? I got one as a gift from my professor when he retired and I can't find any real information about this piece.
  
  Sincerely,

  Dear Thomas,
  We don’t know exactly how many of these funscates exist, but it is a small number. Very nice to have one! It is made by Ravarini Castaldi & co, from Milano.
  Kind regards,
  Esther
