Gian Luca Bartellone

Paper has always fascinated me for its ability to transform itself. As a designer, I began experimenting with papier-mâché as a structural material, creating unusual and exceptionally lightweight pieces — where paper, metal and stones coexist in a harmonious and emotive balance. This is how Bodyfurnitures was born: jewellery conceived as wearable micro-architectures, designed to engage with the body, movement and space.

innovative craftsmanship

Bodyfurnitures bridges formal research, goldsmith tradition and innovative craftsmanship. Papier-mâché — lightweight yet surprisingly resilient — is shaped entirely by hand through modelling, sanding, painting and lacquering, until surfaces become compact and luminous. Forms evolve from natural inspiration toward abstract, modular geometries — combined with silver, copper and gold structures set with precious stones in balanced, dynamic compositions.
The work questions where lightness ends and preciousness begins. Bodyfurnitures explores jewelry as a wearable argument: that beauty lives precisely in the tension between things that should not belong together.

feel your emotions

Strong Identity

Character and personality emerge in the details. A piece of jewelry that becomes part of your language: a bold accent that expresses who you are, naturally and confidently.

Lightness

A lightness that flows naturally with every movement. You wear them, and they stay with you without being felt, leaving room for movement, color, and the joy of life’s little pleasures.

Vivacity

Vivid colors give rhythm to shapes. The design becomes a play of hues that accompanies the wearer, bringing with it energy, light, and spontaneous joy.

Fulfilling

More than an ornament: a sign that speaks to your way of being. Jewelry becomes a source of personal satisfaction, capable of accompanying your day with pleasure.
