San Lorenzo Sil­ver
Since 1970 the his­tory of man­u­fac­tur­ing sil­ver objects has been renewed by San Lorenzo. The com­pany inte­grates the tra­di­tional skills of the sil­ver­smith with tech­nol­ogy bor­rowed from appli­ca­tions out­side its world and intro­duces an unusual way of look­ing at sil­ver: that of the architects-designers who are asked to cre­ate sil­ver objects, giv­ing pref­er­ence to the nature of the mate­r­ial but recall­ing for­mal conventions.
