Texture’s overlapping

The kinetic jewelry modulating line (Circle in the circle, Golden Rectangle, Algae and OM), patented more than fifteen years ago, born from Elisabetta Fontana research on shape and materials, and inaugurate a new way of conceiving the jewel not only as monile purely aesthetic, but also as an interactive and playful element of the wearer. After high school he attended graphic to the Sforzesco Castle School of Art in Milan and finally graduated in design with a thesis entitled "modularity and kinetics in jewelry design." Expert connoisseur of traditional goldsmith techniques, gained by attending Milanese artisans and artists including the sculptor Davide De Paoli and his school "PriMateria" Elisabetta Fontana, she combines the technical craft to industrial processes. Using the impernatura and joints, instead of the traditional casting, the author manages to create dynamic jewelry – kinetic and rotating - using the assembly of geometric elements. Modular dynamism which is in turn actuated by the wearer that activates it making kinetic. Circles, rectangles and square sections, combine together, forming figures geometric perfect from clear symbolic value. In Circle in the circle, the sum of circles form a pentagon, clearly interpretable as a symbol universal harmony. The physical structure blends into the symbolic and metaphysical structure of the figures. Based on the principles of the golden ratio and the Bauhaus techniques, Elisabetta Fontana realizes the changing jewels that turn into pendants to rings and buckles. The creations of the line called “MODULANDO” is delineated by a continuous manipulation of modular geometry, analytical survey of the materials and playful and symbolic significance that goes beyond the object itself.

The italian brand Kimikim was born in 2012 from the long experience and the same passion for fashion, which for over twenty years characterizes the work of Itko. A constant search for new trends, the use of fine materials and absolute quality, continuous attention to the market responses, makes this brand unique, elegant and creative. It is an international brand by its very nature, the result of a team-work that combines the taste and italian excellence to new creativity, the young global trends, innovative and without borders: a concept defined and modern accompanying the choices of a woman "World Citizen", dynamic, practical and elegant, free by nature.

Olindo Merone currently works as professor at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Cagliari, teaching exhibition and new-media and leading design workshops as elective course. In 1998 he opens his own office in Cagliari where he explores new aspects of the architectural process translated in a continuous and intense professional activity that spans from building design to furniture design and multimedia exhibitions. In 2006 he founded the architectural firm “2+1 Officina Architettura” in association with Fabio Lilliu and Gianni Massa. The group performs in the field of artistic and architectural design and is mainly focused on the development of contemporary art and architecture. “2+1 Officina Architettura” promotes all the aspects of the contemporary design and encourages the attitudes towards research, avant-garde and “superimpositions”, with emphasis on the cross-cultural interaction between traditional artistic disciplines and new video-digital media.
