ornamentodinamico

I have been designing jewellery since I was a child.In the 1970s and 80s I would see my mother graced with incredible jewels created by architects, designers and painters – jewels more like small wearable sculptures or structures than the more usual rich and boring bourgeois items.Some I still jealously keep.Creating and giving simple and minimal shape to white gold or silver has always been a passion, at first as a game – and now with «ornamentodinamico» (Dynamic Ornament) it has become a first series collection designed for superleggero. Three necklaces in sterling silver, entirely hand-crafted starting from the grains of silver and inspired by the simple and minimal interlacing spokes of a bicycle.The purity of the lines, the precision in the shapes, the ratios and precious details – three small and elegant sculptures to wear in everyday life.Stay shiny, stay chic!

T90

Back to the 90’s! I am very excited to show you my last project. Dedicated to one of the most stylish jersey of the 90’s, the new T90 design code has just become available and it will be a real 2022 must have! Silk-screen printed in Italy on an Italian cotton, it will be used to produce a new summer collection of handbags, shoulderbags, pouches and mini-bags. Soon available at superleggero.com

«Le col le plus difficile était le Col de La Madone, qui surplombait la ville et était réputé pour ses douze kilomètres particulièrement raides. La Madone, trop pénible pour être tentée tous les jours, était parfaite pour tester sa condition. La plupart des coureurs la faisaient une ou deux fois par saison. Je l’ai faite une fois par mois».
