RelaxArte Arch – Art&Design

A re-harmonising sculpture by Teri Volini

The RelaxArte Arch is a work of art and at the same time functional, designed to re-harmonise the physical body.

The RelaxArte Arch is an object of careful design, valuable both aesthetically – thanks to its elegant, essential line – and practically, as it was conceived to offer well-being…

Its particular structure allows you to enjoy the beauty of a work of art while the body rebalances itself through direct contact with the work.

Features of the RelaxArte Arch:

• aesthetic impact: it is an original sculpture, to be admired for the purity and simplicity of its design and for the creativity of the details that define it; these differ in each model, making every piece unique, while all share the same basic structure – the arched form – and materials: metals such as finely worked iron and, in some cases, steel
• functionality: it can be used directly and with great ease to stretch, realign and relax the muscles and bones of the whole body, especially the spine, the vertebrae and all the muscle groups stressed by long hours standing or sitting during a working day, or by poor posture
• naturalness: extremely simple to use, with careful choice of the basic materials
• care in the coverings and finishes, all made by hand: water-based paints, eco-friendly glues, wood, fabrics, crystals, thread, etc.
