Bean collection

The concept for this unique jewelry, is based on the idea of bean, the seed as device of life, that originates the process between measured and unpredictability, repetition and change, as potential latency. Its shape is interesting for its subtlety, between the symmetrical and geometric but organic and soft, referring to a living being. Hand made process of creations with care of every detail.

Jean-Briac Ravello

He was born in southern France and twenty years old learned to work the stone in a french centuries-old association called L’association des compagnons du devoir ouvrière, where cultivated the art of building in stone.

“My learning was developed over a 6-year journey that led me to work several types of stone in different regions of France. My aim has always been beyond my knowledge, which led me to collaborate in the construction of La Sagrada Familia. “

Nowadays he uses for his creations divers stones like marble, granite, sandstone, slate, stone mountain or river boulders. The choice of material varies according to different criteria: the color of the stone, its natural  form and sometimes, its geological composition. Everything depends of the desire of the artist, for example, a more homogeneous stone allows thinner pieces.

David Ruiz

Photographer from Catalonia.

By chance, the opportunity arises. The trained eye discovers, records, edits and isolates. Lines, geometry and balance stand out in these urban scenarios loaded with an alluring and compelling energy. The harmonious balance between light and composition, describe delicate moments of undisturbed permanence. A fair essentialism characterizes David Ruiz’s photography,  implicitly evoking the possibility of an action. Positioned slightly below, from a modest and clear point of view, his work tells us that – nothing is missing here.
