Annalisa Valentini's Wearable Architecture Jewelry Featured at Milan Design Week 2026

festival-fair · 2026-04-14

Annalisa Valentini's jewelry brand A's Way presents wearable micro-architectures at Milan's Fuorisalone 2026. The designer, originally from Jesi in the Marche region, creates handcrafted pieces inspired by architectural masters like Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright. Her work draws from her background as a competitive fencer, architect, and marketing professional for companies including iGuzzini and i-Mesh. Valentini's designs will appear in two key events: the ARIA collective exhibition curated by Caterina Misuraca and Sandra Faggiano at Superstudio Village in Bovisa, and the fifth edition of the Gioiello Contemporaneo Contest at Galleria Rossini from April 18-30. The exhibition features her patented multifunctional modules and the Guerriera ring inspired by Amedeo Modigliani's female figures. Her creative process involves digital design followed by hand-engraving, with textures referencing photographer Mario Giacomelli's work. The Linea bracelet collection specifically references architectural icons like the Barcelona Pavilion and Villa Tugendhat.
