Valentina’s work tends to access some part of the unconscious, a side of herself and humanity that surfaces only indirectly. With Elements, she was guided by the rural, pastoral aspect of Sardinia in which the hand of the farmer and the shepherd have shaped the landscape so thoroughly as to seem an inextricable part of it. The object itself - the coatrack made of iron tubes - is simple and utilitarian; however, the added elements go beyond decoration. A rock, a sphere, a wave that imitates a cactus, dulled spines, a shell, a rustic ladder: all natural extrusions that seem to grow out of the structure itself. The custom finish is inspired by the colors of the pink salt flats of Sant'Antioco.

The set is made by Fratelli Argiolas, a metalworking shop in Cagliari. The shop was opened by their father over 50 years ago and is now regarded as one of the most highly respected artisans on the island of Sardinia, Italy.
