The Colibrì necklace does not stay still. Many leaves cut from regenerated fabric are mounted on a cord in overlapping rows: each leaf partly covers the one before it and stays free at the tip.
The fabric has enough body to hold the shape of a leaf without a wire to support it, and it is so light that the air stirred by a single step moves it. The leaves shift with every step and settle by themselves when the step comes to rest.
It can be worn long on the torso or wrapped twice around the neck: 110 centimetres at just 30 grams, two pieces in one. The clasp is magnetic, in resin, easy to fasten even on your own.
The fabric comes from textile surplus, with Global Recycled Standard certification: it was left over, and it has become this.

Recycled chiffon

Leaves of very light fabric: the shape stays, it just needs a light hand.

How to wear it. Keep it away from perfume, creams and heat. Put it on last, once you are dressed.
How to clean it. For dust, shake it gently or use a puff of cool air. On stains, a barely damp cloth, dabbing.
How to store it. Laid flat in its box, with the leaves free and nothing on top.

For all jewellery

How to wear it. Put it on last, after creams, perfume and hairspray. Take it off before showering, swimming in the sea or pool, exercising and going to bed.
How to clean it. When you take it off, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth: a few seconds are enough.
How to store it. Keep it in its box, in a dry drawer, away from your other jewellery. The bathroom, with its steam, is the least suitable place.

Colibrì Necklace

periwinkle blue105 €

Chosen by those who select design for museums, from MoMA to MAXXI.

With you every day

Worn long, it falls onto the torso. Wrapped twice, it sits at the neck. Two pieces of jewellery in one. You change its form in a second. The leaves move as you walk. They settle when you stop. It does not weigh on the shoulders. It does not hold heat. The magnetic clasp closes by itself at the nape.

The material, up close.

The fabric is not still. Each leaf is a light cut-out, fixed at the base and free at the tip — 110 centimetres of necklace for just 30 grams. Its lack of weight makes it sensitive to the air. This movement makes its presence perceptible, even though it is almost intangible. The fabric has body and keeps the shape of the leaf, even without internal supports. After bending, it regains its outline. The surface is matt and absorbs light. It does not reflect it, keeping the colour solid even in shadow.

The fabric is regenerated, with Global Recycled Standard certification for the entire supply chain. It comes from remnants. This choice makes the most of existing resources, turning them into a new material with specific qualities of strength and softness. Its feel is fine, yet it offers a distinct tactile sensation that defines its character.

The magnetic clasp is made of resin. It is integrated into the structure, offering discreet, practical function. The gesture of opening and closing is smooth, a detail that contributes to everyday interaction with the object.
