Born in 1988 always fascinated by metal forging, after years spent in the family business working in something that did non identify me, in a totally self-taught way I decided to embark on the path as a blacksmith/artist.
Basing my research strictly on form and matter, and merging ancient techniques of forging with anvil, hammer and mallet, to the most modern plasma cutting and TIG welding, MIG.
My production varies from the most traditional works such as gates, stairs and mezzanines, interior and exterior furnishings, whether they are bar furniture, hanging tables or bookcases; to real sculputers where craftsmanship sublimates in art.
Inventiveness and originality: each artifact is a unique piece, which is born from the design and comes to life in my hands. Although sometimes the works may seem similar, the artisanal and manual process ensure the uniqueness and exclusivity of each creation. Iron and steel integrate with other materials, such as wood, glass, marble, stone, to give life to unique piece that will furnish your homes with a unique design.

“Although Stefano Robiglio’s sculptural works are tied to a traditional representation, they project themselves in the modern perspective of an innovative play of volumes and skillful planning, where a complete autonomous narrative acquires symbolic power and disruptive renovating force of the material.
His sculptures are created with knowledge of the material, peculiar commitment and artistic skills full of experimentation.
The wrought iron technique with pulsed arc welding system is applied by Robiglio with responsibility and descriptive quality. He severely measures full and empty spaces and he cleverly measures the relation between form and space in a continuous balance of the material and with a remarkable synthesis of technique.
The strongest of all metals – that is iron – invades the scenery with visual results of particular communicative feature, which succeed one another and tell us of recurring emotions.
The human component animates the sculptural travel into Robiglio’s inner reality, vitality and profound honesty for an evident psychological investigation.
Robiglio’s art is really felt and original. It expresses itself by manual expertise and gives maturity to his work for a stylistic language of remarkable reading and real sentiment.
Every sculpture has its own personality, both technical and ideological, where the artist gives soul and life. An important creative dimension walks along Robiglio’s path, which highlights a continuous change of the composition of materials.”

” The workshop of bonsai and climbers” is the kingdom of the blacksmith-artist Stefano Robiglio who near Alessandria creates sculptures, furnishings and accessories of natural inspiration, handmade in iron and stainless steel.

Self-taught, he started working the iron as a boy…
