Osanna Visconti's Bronze Botanicals at Maison Gerard
The inaugural solo exhibition of Osanna Visconti in the U.S., titled "Osanna Visconti di Modrone," is currently being showcased at Maison Gerard in New York until June 30. This exhibition highlights furniture and objects crafted from cast bronze and found botanicals, utilizing the lost-wax method. A trained jeweler, Visconti transitioned to furniture design approximately 15 years ago, partnering with brands like Bottega Veneta, Dior Maison, and Diptyque. Her creations—including mirrors, tables, lighting, and screens—retain natural imperfections to enhance authenticity. She meticulously oversees every aspect of her work at a foundry located near Milan. The display is complemented by items from Maison Gerard's own collection.
