The new collection of brazilian designer Silvia Furmanovich is dedicated to India ♦ ︎
There are those who fall in love with their children (everyone), others who falls in love with a man or woman (almost everybody), and others again who falls in love with the cat (good part). Others, like Silvia Furmanovich, a Brazilian designer with a Slavic name, also fall in love with the countries. She fell in love with Egypt, Japan, and Italy. And, now, she is in love with India. To all these countries she has dedicated a collection of jewels. The great and populous Asian subcontinent, with that blend of spirituality and folklore, in fact, is loved from many people. And it looks perfect for creative design by Silvia Furmanovich, who likes to mix elements, techniques, and traditions. In the India collection, for example, forms that derive from the ancient artisan skill in decoration, engravings and decorations, miniatures and icons, are revised with the designer’s eyes. It is what she herself describes as “a delicate balance between tradition and innovation.” Unique pieces, craftsmanship, and sometimes surprising materials: even for brooches and bracelets, necklaces and rings from the new collection, the method by the creative designer is respected.
A good initiative, in short, to celebrate the first 20 years of activity: Silvia Furmanovich opened its own atelier in 1997. But her journey through the world will continue to long. Margherita Donato
