ring 8

typographic, sculptural, conceptual - the rings "6" and "8" are a homage to grotesque typefaces: in their clarity, they idealize the objectivity of modern design. just as grotesque fonts have no serifs, the rings by Vignelli need no ornamental gemstone. their form alone, the pure material sterling silver, and their object-like character make the rings a striking piece of jewelry. Lella and Massimo Vignelli set out to beautify our visual environment interdisciplinarily. their designs in architecture, graphics, jewelry, and furniture design often have a graphic character. the duo became especially famous for their works from the 1960s, including their signage system for the New York subway.
