SMITH_GREY

E-mail Designer

The collection materializes the contrast between the undefined and defined as it merges textures and imperfections with refined geometric shapes found in the cityscape of Palermo. Designed during a trip to Palermo, Italy, this collection materialises the traveling state of mind that has absorbed its surroundings in a both holistic and detailed manner. Materials: silver, oxidised silver and gold vermeil. “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” – Ernest Hemingway
