MARIA ENRICA BARBIERI with FANCS V. BY SIMONA ELIA
Il Bracciale Portaborsa
bracelet varnished wood, steel
A merger between a purely ornamental object, the bangle, and a merely functional item, such as a handbag table hook, the Bracciale Portaborsa (bag-carrying bracelet) in its essential aspect takes inspiration from the sinuous lines of nature, recalling the smoothness of river stones, levelled and rounded by the water flow.
The bracelet has two parts, joined by an invisible pin inserted in a single juncture. The upper part forms the base support, while the lower part holds the bag.
