Mouvant Collection: A Timeless Fusion of Art and Jewelry

Fabio Brazil & Henrique Murgel's Award-Winning Design Inspired by Futurism

Embodying the dynamism of Futurism, the Mouvant Collection by Fabio Brazil & Henrique Murgel presents a unique perspective on jewelry design. The collection, featuring earrings and a ring, draws inspiration from the intangible materialization concepts of Italian artist Umberto Boccioni, resulting in pieces that exude an illusion of movement.

The Mouvant Collection stands out with its unique properties. The earrings and ring are composed of various gold fragments of different sizes, meticulously welded to create an illusion of motion. Depending on the viewing angle, these static fragments form diverse shapes, adding to the collection's perceptual value and timeless appeal.

Each piece in the collection is handcrafted, showcasing the designers' exceptional skills and attention to detail. The fragments are cut and welded from 18K yellow gold, resulting in jewelry pieces that are not only visually stunning but also of high quality. The earrings weigh 17g and have dimensions of Width 23mm x Depth 15mm x Height 30mm, while the ring weighs 8.6g with dimensions of Width 15mm x Depth 25mm x Height 25mm.

Despite the intricate design, one of the main challenges faced by the design team was ensuring the comfort of the pieces. The assembly of each jewelry piece required precise welding of each fragment in the correct position, without affecting the other welds. Any misstep could cause the pieces to collapse due to the high temperature. However, the team successfully overcame these challenges, resulting in a collection that is as comfortable as it is beautiful.

The Mouvant Collection was developed in São Paulo, Brazil, over a period of three months. From the initial sketches to the final pieces, the designers' commitment to their craft is evident in the collection's exquisite design and flawless execution. The collection's unique fusion of art and jewelry design, inspired by Futurism, has earned it the prestigious Golden A' Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design Award in 2014.

In conclusion, the Mouvant Collection by Fabio Brazil & Henrique Murgel is a testament to the designers' innovative approach and exceptional craftsmanship. The collection's unique design, inspired by the concepts of Futurism, offers a fresh perspective on jewelry design, making it a worthy recipient of the Golden A' Design Award.
