Avantgarde

Our sense for jewellery-as-invention, as minute instances of the impossible, attunes us to the suggestions in the Arts of the early twentieth century. An irresistible desire to upend the world with its creativity saw artists from all over Europe dissolve all ties with the past, and crack open the portal to a new dimension that would revolutionize making, observing and experiencing any work of art.
The time was ripe to upset the canons, to bend the rules, to provoke the observer’s sense of objective reality by emancipating colour from its objects, by denying rational space, by injecting disorder into geometry, and anarchy into composition. What unshackled pleasure in all that commotion!

Perhaps ours is also an homage to art’s revolutionaries, whose irreverent jest and whose modicum of restlessness we share. With nothing to prove except the freedom of their imagination, and an indomitable verve for invention, for transcending all limits in their experiments with form, colour and matter itself.
Avantgarde offers mash-ups of styles and remembered impressions: collected fragments of cubism, of futurism, of constructivism and of surrealism, reassembled into unique, exuberant refigurations.

It’s sheer pleasure.

By reversing and disrupting the relation between the work and its frame, they’re free from their imposed roles to speculate new margins and boundaries.
Geometries lose all regularity and are no longer set by calculations, produced instead by distortions in reality. As in Escher’s paradoxical architectures, space becomes subjective and visionary.

 

We source Futurism’s dynamic lines and sinuous shapes, the dazzling colors of a frenetic world in continuous accelerated motion.
From Cubism we derive the juxtaposition and disassembly of seemingly random elements, emerging as though from memory or dream, like parts of a rebus of cryptic, inscrutable meaning.

 

We want the momentum and dynamic these pieces release to go beyond even our control, the shapes and colours arranging at uncanny, precarious angles as though self-animate. A cacophony of geometries and broken lines, their festive wandering shapes ignoring order and rule to break free of any frame that would contain them.
For full compositional freedom and to avoid any constraints of weight, shape or colour, tipical of pre-processed materials, we handmake every bespoke element of this series: bronze, silver, resin and porcelain are singly wrought into the harmonious ensembles we imagine in their design.

Each piece is therefore unique and unreplicable.

Vogliamo che il momentum e la forza liberata da queste creature sia tale che sfugga addirittura al nostro controllo, che le forme e i colori si dispongano in bizzarre e precarie angolazioni come se fossero animate di vita propria. Geometrie cacofoniche e linee scomposte, festose forme vagabonde che ignorano ordine e regola e sfondano la cornice che dovrebbe contenerli.
Per avere la massima libertà compositiva ed evitare qualsiasi vincolo di peso, forma o colore derivante da materiali prelavorati, realizziamo appositamente ogni elemento di questa serie: il bronzo, l’argento, la resina e la porcellana nascono dalle nostre mani in modo che si adattino fedelmente ed armoniosamente all’idea che abbiamo in testa.

Each piece is therefore unique and unreplicable.
