Róbert Rigó - The Stand for Vegetables
created: 14. 01. 2022 10:20 modified: 14. 01. 2022 10:30
The author of the stand is the Romani blacksmith Róbert Rigó from Dunajská Lužná. The stand was photographed in 2014 during the European Roma Blacksmithing Symposium. "This is a stand for either vegetables or fruits. It's not used much here. About ten years ago, we set up an American residence and there was a kitchen. We made large stands that were on the floor, but also smaller ones that were on the table." said R. Rigó.
Róbert Rigó is an artistic blacksmith from Dunajská Lužná. Hand-forged items come from his blacksmith shop and the Hephaeston blacksmith shop. From small candlesticks to large railings or dominant gates. They can be found all over Slovakia and in many countries around the world.
Róbert Rigó focuses on traditional works with an effort to preserve old Romani blacksmith motifs and techniques.
He is the chairman of OZ Charťikano, which organizes an event called the European Roma Forging Symposium.
In the past, Dunajská Lužná was called the Iron Village. The blacksmith craft has a tradition of more than 300 years and to this day there is the largest number of blacksmith workshops in the whole of Slovakia.
