Stainless yes, but agile: the jewels signed by the turinese collective Design Digest are made of stainless steel 304 (alloy commonly used for cutlery and cookware) and are revealed as the sculptures. We saw them up close during a press day in Milan: have sharp lines that describe the solid, yet they are very light to carry. Even Moon the semicircle necklace with a metal plate that depicts the quarter moon is comfortable. We write from experience. In addition, the steel jewels are so durable that they can adapt to their own measure without fear of deforming them, I tried it and it is so. The other surprise is that these objects made of very thin wires or plates are extremely simple. But only in appearance: worn on not only look good as a well-cut suit, but are eye catching with refined balance of full and empty, even the bracelets named Trilogia, thin bangles with different curves and angles put together create a game forms not hackneyed. In short, almost an oxymoron this minimalism massive result of a specific combination of aesthetics, the design of Sara Simone and Irene Pecchenino and technical, that the study of metals applied to the architecture of the founders of the brand Luana Marmo and Biagio Michieletti. The result? Another oxymoron: sensual steel jewelry. Monica Battistoni
