Every jewel opens a door to explore a different concept of

design and beauty; thus, a reflection upon the language of
ornament, decoration and beauty.
This exhibition highlights the values of research in a new
area of design for most of these established artists. Breaking
away from the routines of their predominant design programs,
the designers involved have experimented with technology,
craftsmanship, shapes, materials and new productive processes.
For example, Massimiliano Adami has ventured into the
exploration of different resins, while Chiara Onida has mastered
a new interpretation of glass with her creations. The innovative
presence of 3D printed objects by Minale-Maeda and Selvaggia
Armani showcase an entire new collection of accessories for an
eclectic fashion-forward audience. On the other hand, reflecting
the playful nature of juxtapositions in this show, the designers
RuiYin Lin and Paula Studio include the exquisite talent of
working with traditional materials, such as aluminium and
carbon, in a contemporary fashion.

The designer duo Lanzavecchia + Wai elaborate their

Circus Collection Series, initiated as handblown borosillicate
glass bell jars and transformed into whimsical charms on their
jewellry. Gio Tirotto, overrides the purely decorative essence of
jewellery by creating his pieces with shredded electrical wires.
Odoardo Fioravanti, with his personal tribute to one of the most
famous designs icon, the n.14 Chair by Thonet, transforms the
seated element into wearable accessories. Eugenia Morpurgo and
Olivia de Gouveia, work with a reinterpretation of ancient
techniques of Rwandese braiding and Omer Polak redesigns one
of the few male jewellery accessories: a glass ampoule for the
buttonhole.

As a gran finale of the show, Designers Joy presents

jewels by Superstudio from 1970 sketches that will be produced
for the first time for this exhibition and exclusively for
Secondome. Superstudio, the pioneers of Italian radical
architecture, explore the diversion from their monumental
creations on a smaller scale with details in rings and bracelets.
This collection is inspired by the famous project of Architectural
Istograms and by the furniture series Misura for Zanotta (an icon
of the furniture design world, exhibited at the Museum of
Modern Art, New York).
