With a modernist vision, he designed jewellery imbued with style that could be worn with anything, anywhere, anytime. He took jewellery \"into the streets\" with models like the handcuff bracelet that transgressed and revolutionised the traditional codes of Paris's famed high jewellery district, Place Vendôme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDinh Van, the \"geometer of jewellery,\" placed shape and form at the centre of his innovative style. Photographs of his iconic works reveal his distinctive vocabulary, from his predilection for the void to his sublimation of ordinary objects—razor blades, military ID tags, thumb tacks—to his interpretation of the rounded square or the chain link. His artistic flair led to collaborations with many artists and couture designers, including Pierre Cardin, Paco Rabanne, and Thierry Mugler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished to celebrate the brand's sixtieth anniversary, this monograph recounts the history of the groundbreaking jewellery designer, his emblematic creations, and how Maison Dinh Van continues to draw inspiration from his legacy, adapting his revolutionary codes to the modern day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424045351148,"sku":"9782080467133","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9782080467133.jpg?v=1774769329","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/dinh-van-by-berenice-geoffroy-schneiter-9782080467133","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
