Biography
Born in Sardinia and educated in Tuscany, Benvenuto Saba (Cagliari, 1956) is active both as a photographer for magazines such as Domus and Abitare and as a sculptor. His works reflect an original and constant search for a balance between purely aesthetic needs and practical functionality. Foundlings - boulders returned to light from the bowels of the Apuan Alps - become elements of interior design; by polishing the purest statuary marble, he forms furnishing accessories poised between art and everyday life, in a happy compromise between sculpture and functional object. He holds a degree from the Academy of Fine Arts of Carrara and is nowadays exhibited in major Italian and international collections. Benvenuto Saba has collaborated with designers such as Bruno Munari, Enzo Mari, Angelo Mangiarotti, Marco Ferreri, Italo Lupi, Salvatore Gregorietti, Andrea Rotti and Giacomo Bersanetti.
