The Design Room in VicenzaOro January 12 outstanding authors of tomorrow’s jewelry.
One of the best innovations of VicenzaOro January edition was the introduction of the Design Room. While some traditional jewelry are missed and don’t are come back at the fair (for example, historical brands like Chimento or Verdi Gioielli), there are new characters that are climbing, successfully, in the world of jewelry. Often, however, they do not have a consolidated organizational structure behind on which to rely. VicenzaOro thought so in an area with all their spaces organized in a simple and recognizable, at an affordable price. The initiative is excellent. For visitors, who were able to bring designers who would otherwise have followed from afar, and designers that have landed in the crucible of Vicenza, since the homogeneity of Design Room (as it was called the space inside the Icon pavilion), it made it more interesting the comparison. Were 12 international designers, young but already established (one of them, Nikos Koulis, also won one of the awards Palladio), who were invited: Netali Nissim, Federica Rector and Qayten (Italy), Rodney Rayner, Sarah and I Zara Simon (UK), Nikos Koulis (Greece), Magerit (Spain), Daniela Villegas and Sutra (USA), Fernando Jorge (Brazil), Elie Top (France). Experiment, hopefully, to be repeated. Giulia Netrese
