Giovanni Scafuro was born in Naples and very young he began to work in the shops of artisans in the city: potters, blacksmiths, carpenters, from whom he learned the applied art of these manual trades and used them to plan and to realize complementary furnishing . Today, in the bohemian atmosphere of his atelier we get lost between his creations: objects of daily use, lamps, chairs, tables, jewels to which Giovanni has given a new image, and as he says himself, "it represents just a moment, a change of route in the life of the same object". The recycle, the reuse are a constant of Giovanni's continuous experimentation process. Sat on a 70's couch, surrounded by his conspicuous production, it is not difficult to understand what it is his true great love. It surrounds us. It is everywhere and it looks to us ironic, amusing, and prickly: a fork, seen in thousand different ways. The fork is like the bound and the compass to contain and orientate his research. Giovanni has created a line of design, FORKINPROGRESS, which consists of jewels by simple and evocative forms, necklaces, bracelets, silver rings in which the forks are twisted like ivy or small good-luck pendants, packaged in glass ampoules. But also furnishing for the house like the Babele lamp, an austere cylinder of light or Aro'nfizz', precious coffee set in ceramics and alpacca, into which the forks are transformed in hands holding the white cups. Or the series of mirrors, Giotto and Random, created using residual plates of plexiglass, latest material frontier of his experimentation. From plexiglass factory leftovers he has also started a new line of disassembling bracelets from the acidic colors and ironic form...and guess what? Their name is Plex-Fork! Objects and materials are for Giovanni an inexhaustible source of inspiration and interpretation, to the extent that his production is a continuous metamorphosis, indeed... in progress!
