ART AS A GIFT
matt-black carbon fibre. From tribal art, Art Déco to the glamour of the 80s, the works of Fabio Salini, rich in cultural references, transmit the sense of history, as is the case with the citation of the Victorian mourning jewels with the use of black carbon fibre. The recurrent use of symbols such as the knot, buckle and chain evoke connection, bond, possession, emphasising the role of the jewel, in turn symbol of love. All concur to demonstrate an unceasing determination to innovate and to nourish a daring spirit of modernity, which allows the history of jewellery to evolve.
