Ora-Ïto and his Abstract collection for Christofle
Abstract-Ïto
This is the first jewelry line designed by Ora-Ïto for Christofle. To pay homage to silver in its most radical form, this prince of design took inspiration from the simple, geometric shapes of Minimal Art to create what he dubs “Simplexity.” For each piece of jewelry, he creates an elegant finish that is both reflective and opaque, somewhere between sterling silver and white lacquer.
