Laurent Gandini lives and works in Milan where he
began his activity in 1990 He could be defined as
“anti-designer” whose collections are characterized by tipically Italian
folk, rural and farming themes. A world full of tales and symbologies,
that has by now disappeared in a span of few generations, but which is
capable to evoke new forms and shapes thanks to its inexhaustible rich
repertoire.
Starting
from these sources of inspiration, in 2002 Laurent created his collection,
whose fundamental themes are the cult of Catholic Saints, folk rites and
popular superstition, whose ancestral existence comes to new life through
an essential representation of patterns and decorations recalling the
lightness of laces, the preciousness of embroideries and the simplicity of
flowers. Jewelry pieces that focus on gracefulness in terms of material
and style, it all comes together for a feeling that is unique and poetic.
