Andrea Vaggione

Take care
From collection «GEN_ETHIQUE» a propos des les rapports entre l’homme et la nature.

The representation of a flower with a strange petal (artificial) allowed me to speak about manipulation of the genes and it remind us the limit of freedom and the responsibility we have about the earth and the future generations.

We have to take care about the Nature, it gives us the best fruits, and then will produce the best wine to create the Inspiration.

«Act so that the effects of your action are compatible with the permanence of an authentically human life on earth »
Hans Jonas (1903-1993)

Gioielli in Fermento 2016

Born in Argentina, Andrea Vaggione started design studies and in 2001, she discovered the world of contemporary jewellery in Córdoba, her home town. In 2005, she moved to Barcelona and worked 5 years at Laura B where she discovered forging techniques. In 2012, she won the “Talents de Mode” contest and set up her workshop in Lyon at the Village des créateurs to develop her business.

Her jewels are the encounter of the craftsman’s skills, art and design. This delicate and refined work, infused with botany and plants, focuses on the concepts of permanent transformation, perpetual motion, birth and rebirth.

The uncluttered minimalist jewels with a hint of ingenuity reflect both the strength and fragility of the designer.

Vaggione’s work studies the patterns of nature, its proportions and inflorescences. It’s a reflection on nature and flowers as a symbol of continuity. The flowers remind us that we can always start again, be reborn, reinvent.

She chose to work silver, combining strength and subtlety, using both traditional techniques (manual) and innovative processes calling on contemporary technologies. The sobriety of this material contrasts with the ephemeral beauty of flowers.
