Paravento Balla

$14,563

Made by Cassina

In 1917, Giacomo Balla designed a folding screen that was, above all, a proposition. As one of Italian Futurism's most committed voices, Balla believed the aesthetic convictions of an avant-garde movement belonged in the domestic interior, not only on the gallery wall. This three-panel screen was his answer.

The composition centers on a vivid orange ground animated by interlocking green and yellow geometric motifs, a palette that reads as both period-specific and perpetually alive. Cassina's reissue preserves Balla's original compositional logic without revision, adding satin brass hinges that carry the warmth of the color fields into the object's architecture.

  • Three-panel folding screen configuration
  • Orange ground with green and yellow geometric motifs
  • Satin brass hinges
  • Originally designed by Giacomo Balla, 1917
  • Reissued by Cassina as part of the I Maestri collection

The Paravento Balla occupies a room the way a painting occupies a wall: with intention. It is a piece of furniture that carries its historical moment without being diminished by it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cassina I Maestri collection?

Cassina's I Maestri collection comprises faithful reissues of works by canonical modern architects and designers, including Le Corbusier, Gerrit Rietveld, and Giacomo Balla. Each piece is produced under license and adheres closely to the original specifications.

Who was Giacomo Balla and what was his role in Futurism?

Giacomo Balla (1871-1958) was a central figure in Italian Futurism, a movement that sought to bring dynamism, speed, and modern energy into all aspects of visual culture, including architecture, painting, and applied design. His work in furniture and interiors extended Futurist principles directly into domestic space.

Is the Paravento Balla a faithful reproduction of the 1917 original?

Cassina's reissue is based on Balla's original 1917 design and preserves its geometric composition, color palette, and three-panel configuration. The satin brass hinges are a considered material choice that respects the warmth and character of the original.

How should a folding screen like this be used in an interior?

Folding screens function as spatial and compositional tools, defining zones within a room, providing a backdrop for furniture arrangements, or standing independently as a visual anchor. A piece with this degree of graphic presence is often positioned to be read as an object in its own right, much like a work of art.

What are the lead times for Cassina pieces?

Cassina furniture is produced to order in Italy and typically carries extended lead times. Specific production and delivery timelines should be confirmed at the time of purchase, as they vary by configuration and destination.
