Passion: A Harmonious Blend of Art and Functionality

Milena Grigaitiene's Exclusive Accessories Redefine Luxury and Artistic Expression

Grigaitiene's inspiration for "Passion" stemmed from her desire to infuse more art into everyday life in unexpected forms. The blue hue, reminiscent of the first sprout, signifies the beginning of her creative process. Each design is a unique piece of art, changing its look depending on the viewer's mood and pretending to be perfect through its natural imperfections. The designs are part of the "Regards" collection, which embodies a gentle correlation between old crafts and modern design objects.

The realization of "Passion" involved a multi-layered process of creation. Grigaitiene used traditional graphic art technique Drypoint in combination with old photo art technique Cyanotype to create the artwork. The resulting prints were made on high-quality silk twill in a small family fabric in Italy, with a hand-rolled hem. The packaging, a luxurious cardboard box with a soft velour insert, adds to the exclusivity of the product.

The technical specifications of "Passion" include a pocket square size of 35x35 cm, made from Italian silk with a hand-rolled hem. The packaging is a luxurious cardboard box measuring 165x165x35 mm, with a soft velour insert, a cover cloth to protect the silk, a hidden magnet for closing, and a signed card with a legend.

"Passion" is not just an accessory; it's an art object that interacts with its owner. It can be folded and tied in many different ways to create different emotions, colors, and pictures. For those seeking something more exquisite, the scarf can be framed to last a lifetime, adding value over time.

The project, which started in November 2015 in Vilnius and finished in October 2016, aimed to combine traditional art with innovative design, extending the life of artworks. The biggest challenge was the lengthy creative and technical process, but the result is a high-value object that proves luxury cannot be created in a hurry.

Grigaitiene's "Passion" has been recognized for its extraordinary excellence and impact on the world of design. It was awarded the Golden A' Fashion and Travel Accessories Design Award in 2017, a testament to its marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creation that advances art, science, design, and technology.
