san lorenzo | ring 8 | design massimo vignelli

typographic, sculptural, conceptual - the rings "6" and "8" are a homage to grotesque fonts: in their clarity they idealize the objectivity of modern design. just as grotesque fonts have no serifs, vignelli's rings do not need a decorative gemstone. their shape alone, the pure material sterling silver and their object-like character make the rings an expressive piece of jewelry. lella and massimo vignelli have made it their mission to beautify our visual environment in an interdisciplinary way. their designs from the fields of architecture, graphics, jewelry and furniture design often have a graphic character. the duo became famous above all for their works from the 1960s, including their guidance system for the new york subway.
