HENNESSY VERY SPECIAL X FELIPE PANTONE: PARTNERS IN MOTION

Nothing can stop Felipe Pantone, this phenomenon of the contemporary art world. Arrived in Spain at the age of 10, this budding rebel native of Buenos Aires went from his first graffiti to a style at the crossroads of vintage typography, optical art and kinetic art. Today, Felipe Pantone is a world-renowned art pioneer. His visual language develops into an explosion of mesmerizing colors, bold graphics and 3D illusions, while his style evokes a vision of history that is constantly transformed by a technology focused on the future.

"My work is inspired by the past, but it is totally contemporary. I like to transcend time through an unexpected experience that can only be achieved through art. I always try to jump on the next wave, to innovate. » Felipe Pantone

Felipe Pantone has achieved star status without ever revealing his face to the public, making him an exception on the contemporary art scene. Indeed, his art speaks for him, which gives the artist the ultimate freedom: the whole world has become his canvas.

 The artist crosses time zones and mediums with the utmost ease, leaving his mark on the most popular artistic destinations and seemingly randomly chosen and unexpected places. We can find the signature of Felipe Pantone, a mix of vibrant colors and dynamic lines, in museum exhibitions and buildings in New York, Madrid, Paris, Bangkok, Shanghai or Tokyo, find her in forgotten corners of the cityscapes, or discover it in the form of embellishments of subway stations or race cars.

The Hennessy Pantone Limited Edition is available now at Denner for CHF 41.-

KURZ presents the new life of the LACE collection by OLE LYNGGAARD COPENHAGEN

When Charlotte Lynggaard as little girl watched her grandmother do embroidery on cotton and silk fabrics little she knew that it was going to be the beginning of a lifelong passion. Since then, the jewelery designer is thrilled with the beautiful details of old lace and broderie embroidery. Because every enchanting piece tells its own story about traditions, crafts and quality. Just as exclusive jewelry does.

In the late 1990s Charlotte Lynggaard was living with her family in Paris. The designer found creative inspiration in the aesthetic abundance of the Parisian flea markets. She studied the patterns of selected lace fabrics by putting them on her hands - and the sight of the lace pattern on her skin, the idea came up to transfer this to precious metals. The result was "Lace".

"I feel like Coco Chanel: I see lace as a perfect translation of nature's own beautiful patterns - like swaying branches against the sky or a forest of forget-me-not on a blanket of clear, green leaves. Lace is a modern classic for me - romantic and robust. Each piece of the collection is created with a strength that, at first sight, is known to last for the rest of your life, "says Charlotte Lynggaard.

The collection was released in 2003 and will be reissued with new models in the fall of 2019.

The designer spent several years perfecting the selected flower pattern with its tiny, polished holes. Each piece of the collection is reminiscent of delicate lace, created in 18K yellow or white gold. The hole pattern varies from model to model.
