Sandra Di Giacinto: Design and Innovative Materials

Graduated in sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti of Roma, Sandra Di Giacinto, has always been fascinated by recycled material, by its countless working solutions, the different ways in which it can be treated and assembled into innumerable shapes.

The designer is strongly attracted by Japanese art. However, the pleating technique that she uses draws inspiration from ancient Greece.

Her collections are therefore minimal, light, durable and brightly coloured. Sandra Di Giacinto's work is characterized by the constant research of new types of materials. All the jewels and bags are hand-made in limited edition, with an innovative use of materials.

The latest collection 2007 exposed last January at Maison et Objet internationl exhibition in Paris drew a lot of attention. The collection has been selected by trendy boutiques all over the world and also by prestigious museum shops such as the SFMoma, the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao, the Venice Biennale.



"Plissè Bag" Collection 2007
Just shown in Paris on February 2007 it is already a success. It's the new plissè bag collection 2007 of Sandra di Giacinto, 100% made in Italy, in "ecoleather" with recycled newspapers. Each bag is different, sold in limited edition in selected boutiques, with an artistic composition, unique and entirely handmade but at the same time affordable.
