Giovanna Bittante

In Milan, jewelry and art at the Rossini Gallery on the occasion of Design Week ♦ ︎

For a week, every year, Milan becomes the capital of design. Salone del Mobile (in the spaces of the Fair) and Fuorisalone (the exhibitions in the city) attract crowds and operators from all over the world. The proposal of the Rossini Gallery is also punctual, which organizes the exhibition Outsidelounge 2019. Gioiello Contemporaneo, on the occasion of the design week. Even the jewel, in fact, is the result of design, in particular that which comes from a link with the world of contemporary art. In short, jewels, but of research, unique pieces.

The exhibition will be open from 9 to 20 April, in collaboration with the curators Marina Chiocchetta and Sonia Patrizia Catena. The jewels are heterogeneous, born from the research and creativity of Italian and foreign designers, goldsmiths and artists. Pieces not necessarily created to be worn, but like small sculptures. The jewels on display focus on two main strands: the so-called biomorphic language, that is, of a formal imitation of nature, or on the study of regular geometric shapes linked to the world of architecture.
