Simona Materi - Italy
Simona Materi
Designer biography:
Simona Materi began her career in 2001. Her research has formal and aesthetic roots and particular attention is paid to the "unique piece". The focus is constantly on the contents of contemporary art and the expression of it, through the selection of precious and semi-precious materials and the experimentation of refined craftsmanship techniques. The jewel, in its uniqueness, beyond the intrinsic value of the object, aspires to the status of a work of art to be worn. The technical-aesthetic experimentation of Simona Materi, is realized in unique collections, of classical, thematic or contemporary design inspiration, made with precious or alternative materials in respect of the high artisan quality that is a typical expression of Made in Italy also contemporary.
Collection concept: Supernatural Collection and Limited edition
The collection is a tribute to Nature which, with its variety of forms, has always been an irreplaceable source of inspiration for body ornaments. Plant elements and motifs such as leaves, berries, seeds or twigs reproduced with special hyperrealism are juxtaposed in compositions of dreamy surrealism. It is the meeting of two worlds, the real and the imaginary, which seek to merge, telling a new flora, mine. The collection includes unique pieces and limited editions that combine sculptural aesthetics and wearability.
