‘Origins’

Last week was the opening of the new @debeersofficial flagship store in Paris.

I had the honour of creating two Kimberlite wall art installations across both floors.
Kimberlite is where the story of the diamond begins.

This project has been two years in the making, developed in close collaboration with the De Beers team.
A process inspired by origin, material, and the landscapes of Namibia and Botswana. #projectkimberlite #origins

“Exposed out of Travertine”

Yesterday, we installed this sculpture at a stunning new lake house on Lago Maggiore, where it truly came to life. Both the house and the sculpture are crafted from travertine sourced directly from the quarry. The design features a split block revealing a Muscovite crystal, symbolizing the clients’ life journey and personal story. The Muscovite represents the love and connection between them, reflecting the sparkle they bring to each other’s lives.

The sculpture is positioned at eye level, with the Chinese grasses beneath continuing to grow, creating the impression that they elevate the piece. @enealandscapearchitecture

Thrilled to have this piece as part of my first ever collection! This immense Ammonite fossil originates from Madagascar, naturally adorned with Pyrite, which beautifully complements the bronze. As an artist and jeweler I’ve sculpted and crafted around the fossil, creating the illusion of it floating in your space, an unconventional form of jewelry, not worn by a person but seamlessly integrated.

It has been in my gallery on display for a while now. There will come a moment when I’ll release it, eagerly anticipating its integration into a stunning architectural environment.

——————

Ammonites are Cretaceous (Albian Stage) in age or approximately 110 million years old and are quarried in the Mahajanga Province of Madagascar.

Ammonites were predatory mollusks that resembled squid with a shell. 🦑These cephalopods had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells. They are more closely related to a living octopus, though the shells resemble that of a nautilus. Ammonites first appearing in the fossil record 240 million years ago, descending from straight shelled cephalopods. The last lineages disappeared 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous.

What an unforgettable experience at the Tokyo Marathon! 42km through the incredible streets of Tokyo. 🗼🎌

A short build-up due to my injury, but we made it to the start line anyway.

Right in the middle of it all, I want to thank @davidmahyari for the greatest gift you can give someone: running a third marathon together. That’s something truly unforgettable. Thank you, I wouldn’t have been here without you. ❤️

Proud. Grateful. Fulfilled. On to the next one! 👀
