RICARDO FUMANAL
Ricardo Fumanal is an illustrator. He is specialized in advertising graphic design and collaborates with numerous studios and art directors working for GQ, Harper's Bazaar, Hercules, Metal, Wallpaper, Vogue Hommes, L'Officiel Hommes or Apartamento among other publications, in addition to his own artistic work.
It is a handmade gold chain. Inspired by the classic Puig d'Oria chains from the 80s: it reveals the beauty of the geometric and flat links against the skin, playing with solids and voids.
The clasp becomes the central piece: on it there is an emerald carved in an irregular hexagon shape, more like a prism, which hides the clasp mechanism below.
The emerald is flat and a little dark (gardened, which means not perfect and crystalline but with occlusions). There is an intention that its striking characteristic color but appeased is intuited. It has a vocation for a “bad” chain, although it is domesticated.
We photographed him at his house/studio in Poble Nou in Barcelona days before he went to live in Paris.
