Our inspiration for the INTAGLI collection was the hand-crafted work done on the French frames of the 1950s. This is made possible by machines with numeric control that create extremely precise incisions, enabling us to make modern acetate frames that reproduce the technical skills of the master craftsmen of that bygone era. Coloured effects recalling plumage are typical of this style, but their design requires complex calculations and exceptionally high-profile skills. Using this technique we are able to reveal the colours of the underlying layers and the surfaces, with their incisions, create an iridescent effect revealing ever more details. Onlookers’ attention is grabbed by the perfection of an object seemingly sculpted by hand.
