la mollla - 97 - bracelet medium

Timeless jewelry made of delicate stainless steel springs

This bracelet was designed in 1997 by Tiziana Redavid and is composed of 97 stainless steel springs. The delicacy of their texture evokes silk and their lightness contrasts amazingly with their quantity. 

Tiziana Redavid was a student at the Turin Polytechnic Architecture School in 1987 when she made a circumstantial discovery. From the factory floor of a manufacturer of industrial springs she discovered that leftover stainless steel springs were quite beautiful on her wrist. The finder’s creative spark was lit right there and an artistic idea burgeoned into a commercial one. In 1997, Tiziana launched La Mollla, which means spring in Italian, but with an extra L for its stretchiness.
Tiziana Redavid is an internationally-recognized architect and industrial designer with offices in Paris and Turin. La Mollla jewelry is made from springs from the Turin factory, and assembled and finished in France.
