COLLECTION
The jewellery in the impression collection is reminiscent of a fossilised jumbled jewellery box whose memory has been captured in silver and gold. The collection is part of a collaborative project with a perfume creator and a creative writer. Exploring the subject of fragmented memories, the collaboration found its physical space in an exhibition during Milan design week in April 2023. Each piece of jewellery is associated with a short story and a scent that all together create new narratives.
The Briolette earrings are associated with this scent and story:
Acetato di linalolo
Odiavo quando per mia madre
era il tempo del cambio degli armadi. Lei
si adattava alle stagioni, al loro ritmo improvvisato; io volevo che queste si accordassero
alla mia vita mononota.
//
I hated when for my mother
it was time to change over the wardrobe. Her, she adapted to the seasons, to their improvised rhythm; me,I wanted these to tune
to my mononote life.
