Marion Vidal, new architectures




The new bijoux-designs by the French designer and architect Marion Vidal  ♦︎

Take a few ceramic elements, add small Carrara marble segments and join them with plexiglas thermoformed and hand polished in the South of France. Now sauté with gilt brass and, if necessary, a dash of vermeil. Mix well and, if you have carefully followed Marion Vidal’s recipe, you will obtain a pleasant, modern, lively jewel.

But, in fact, if you really want to imitate the French designer, you also need an architecture degree, like that of Marion Vidal, who interprets her bijoux as if they were compositions of elements from which a project for a monument, a house, a cathedral must arise . Made, however, according to the most essential, almost subversive philosophy of architecture. Imagine, therefore, conceiving a jewel by carefully studying surfaces and volumes, weight and shades, without considering the addition of secondary, redundant details. It is the goal that Marion Vidal has reached, and that is repeated with the new collections.

New volumes by Marion Vidal

//




Silver, vermeil, but also plexiglass, ceramic, brass: Marion Vidal‘s bijoux represent modern France, which is renewed. Far from tradition and shapes consolidated over time, often in plaster, the bijoux of the designer born in Montpellier, in the south of the country and who now works in Paris, have always stood out as modern, fast and original accessories. The eponymous brand was launched in 2004 and six years later Marion Vidal won the Grand Prix de la Création of the City of Paris. They are ornaments that bridge the gap between the world of jewelry and that of fashion. And, therefore, with collections that are renewed over time.

The geometric construction is the field of action of the designer, who has behind her the studio of drawing, dance, music and, above all, of architecture for six years in Paris and Milan, before joining the department dedicated to fashion at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp. Her ability to combine volumes and colors together has also opened the doors of Maisons such as Salviati, Céline, Christofle and Lacoste, for which she has worked. A source of inspiration for the designer are also painters, in particular the generation of abstract artists of the thirties and forties, who were able to renew not only the formal aspect of art, but also the way of looking.

The new anomalous geometries of French designer Marion Vidal ♦
In march, in Paris, Marion Vidal’s jewels were the guest stars of Christian Wijnants fashion show. Marion Vidal designed a series of earrings for the Belgian designer. Marion Vidal has take her inspiration from research work by interpreting the designer’s fabrics and transformed into jewelery. It is an example of the versatility of the French designer, born under the sun of Montpellier, but who is living steadily under the sky of Paris. She founded the brand that has his name in 2004.

She loves geometry, lines that intersect, different volumes that confront, different colors that contrast. The counterpoint is perhaps due to her passion for dance and music, who knows. In any case, her research is not conventional, and in part it is also used for other brands: she designs, in fact, for houses such as Salviati, Celine, Christofle and Lacoste. You can find her jewels at her boutique in Paris, in the Pigalle district, but also at the Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris, at the Museum of Decorative Arts, Gago in Aix-en-Provence, at 10 Corso Como, and in Shanghai and Seoul.

Marion Vidal, French geometries

Paris is the city of jewels, but also of high-end of bijoux. As those of Marion Vidal, who identified one style to offer affordable all in all content on her design. Because in her atelier in Avenue Trudaine what she sells is primarily the originality of its design. That reminds those kind of wooden building-toys that appealed to children than once (now they are made in plastic). For her invention has won the Grand Prize of the creation of the city of Paris in 2010. She also collaborated with Christofle, another Maison that focuses on design. The materials the she use are jade, jasper and obsidian, but also rope and fabric. Her necklaces, that will please those who love a very minimalist, modern, nordic, are composed of a few elements, but do not go unnoticed.
Marion Vidal, born in Montpellier, says to “follow an unconventional approach to jewelery. With an underlying theme, the dialogue between colors and materials that are used in geometric blocks, with a creative interplay between stiffness and flexibility, strength and fragility, balance and tear.” Jewels prices: from 200 to 500 Euros on average.
