Jewelry And Design [Italian]

By Alba Cappellieri

Part of the series "Italian Design" from the Milan Trienniale, this volume documents the genesis, the symbolism and the history of jewelry, in a curious journey full of surprises as we discover jewelry's connection to Postmodernist art, Minimalism, Ethnic art, and Expressionism. "Jewelry and Design" also examines this beautiful art form from the microscale gem to the macroscale of a building or a piece of furniture, creating analogies and fostering interdisciplinary comparison. This book also features exemplars in the following categories: artist jewelry (Arnaldo Pomodoro), artisan jewelry (Giampaolo Babetto), unique jewelry (Henry Winston), fashion jewelry (Chanel, Gucci), and industrial jewelry (Loretta Baiocchi for Pomellato). These samples highlight unique ways of conceiving contemporary jewels and jewelry design.
