MONICA CASTIGLIONI JEWELLERY AT A+I
Rooted in the center of Milan, the fashion capital of the world, and soon expanding to New York and Japan.
The collection designed by Monica Castiglioni, took shape and inspiration from the natural forms of nature.
Represented and realized with natural materials like bronze, mixes of bronze, and silver or copper.
Not as precious materials as usual jewellery artifacts but more raff materials to represent nature in its full expression.
Each jewel is beautifully touched by natural "inspirations" like palisade wood, pearl, amber or quartz.
The shapes are interrupted by cracks, orange peel and plisses effects.
Materials leave space for reflection and meditation, while shape wraps around the concept.
Monicas sense of design comes from a deeply rooted tradition in design, her father Achille Castiglioni was one of the famous furniture designers which contributed to writing history in Design.
She breathes shapes and materials, conceptualizing all her life and since 1981 she started producing her own collection of jewellery untill 1990 when she created the Anthias Jewellery Brand together with Natsuko Toyofuko.
Today she goes solo and produces her own line stocked all around the world, starting from Milan to New York and Fukuoka, her contemporary design is appreciated and warn by the most famous and fashionable people and also exhibited in places such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Now finally in South Africa, Monica started a great collaboration with A + I Unlimited Design, already stocking some of her Fathers furniture pieces by Zanotta. What a better setting to exhibit her Jewellery Line than being surrounded by masterpieces of design from brands like: De Padova, Cassina and Zanotta.
Africa and its wild beauty is just a natural destination for something that was inspired by Mother Nature.
