ADI Design Index 2012 - Selection
Pamar tackles the theme of the classic, proposing an original, new and cultured interpretation.
It is Pamar Gem, a collection of handles and knobs, precious and refined like jewels, born from the thought and the hand of two authentic masters, interpreters of contemporary goldsmith art.
Giorgio Vigna's sign is organic, vital, rich in references to the decorative ceramics of the 1940s and 1950s.
Pamar's production ability is once again put to the test in making a collection that expresses clear and marked elements of craftsmanship into a series. The metals are forged like the most precious: the zama is shaped, embossed, made irregular and rough on the surface. Enamels are applied like on jewels, in refined colors of unusual brilliance. New finishes are adopted that add value and originality to the collection, from white silver to shaded pewter.
Pamar Gem is presented during the 2011 Fuori Salone in the spaces of Palazzo Crivelli, in Brera, the usual, evocative place of representation of the Pamar collections.
«Acqua, terra, fuoco, vento, ombre, luce, trasparenze, sono elementi cardine di queste collezioni, in cui il naturale e l’artificiale s’incontrano creando forme primarie, elementari. Forti e naturali, universali e senza tempo, forme sempre ricche di valenze evocative»

The author
GIORGIO VIGNA
Born in Verona in 1955, Giorgio Vigna began his artistic career in the theater, as a costume designer, set designer and director. He then learned and experimented with the ancient techniques of marbling, engaging in the creation of jewelry-sculptures for body decoration.
Deepening his research on glass, his work constantly develops along an imaginary border between various fields of art and design, giving life to sculptures that often reveal themselves to be objects of everyday use.
