Driade bookcase Venus

"Canova imagined that his venus had been caught unawares in the nude and he gave her a marble veil to hide herself from indiscrete eyes. I add a succession of wooden shelves that cross the most private parts of her body to camouflage her in the midst of books and other objects. A four-handed job performed at different moments in time by two italians who are particularly fascinated by the epitome of female beauty: Venus." Fabio Novembre

Novembre draws his inspiration from the wooden crates used by museums to transport statues and transforms them into graceful design objects. It has been classified as a bookcase but a different point of view may regard venus as the statue of a goddess. both opinions are correct and interconnected. Venus is both things: art i.e. the possibility of enjoying its beauty, and function, an essential part of design.
