Repossi and Invisible Collection: A Fusion of High Jewelry and Home Design



Couture Week in Paris witnessed the grand unveiling of a unique collaboration between Repossi, the avant-garde jewelry house of Place Vendôme, and Invisible Collection, the renowned collectible design brand. In an artistic dialogue that continues Repossi's engagement with the world of art and design, previously seen in its partnerships with MoMA in 2020 and Centre Pompidou last year, the Maison introduced a limited-edition collection of home décor.

Repossi and Invisible Collection present four exceptional, handcrafted home pieces, each inspired by the Maison's most iconic jewelry creations. The four designers behind these exclusive works, all celebrated for their contributions to contemporary interior design, seamlessly translated the essence of Repossi's jewelry into collectible design objects. The collection debuted in Paris before traveling to Invisible Collection's galleries in London, New York, and Los Angeles, as well as Repossi's boutiques in Tokyo, Monaco, Dubai, and Riyadh.

This collaboration is a continuation of the Renaissance tradition where architecture, sculpture, and decorative arts were intrinsically linked, challenging the boundaries of materiality and form. By transforming jewelry motifs into furniture, the project reaffirms Repossi's dedication to conceptual innovation. Repossi and Invisible Collection's collaboration reflects a shared commitment to craftsmanship, exceptional creativity, and a sense of exclusivity. Anne de Vergeron, CEO of Repossi, emphasizes, "Invisible Collection is a perfect partner for us, as we share the same values of craftsmanship expertise, exceptional creativity, and a sense of exclusivity. I have profound admiration for Isabelle Dubern’s talent in collaborating with such creative geniuses."
Invisible Collection's co-founder, Isabelle Dubern Mallevays, adds, "This collaboration is a celebration not only of Repossi's heritage but also of the vibrant creative dialogues connecting design and jewelry. It has been a true delight to work with the Repossi team."

The Designers and Their Creations

Campbell-Rey: Sculptural Martini Tables Inspired by Serti sur Vide

The London-based design duo, Campbell-Rey, drew inspiration from Repossi's signature Serti sur Vide collection. Emulating the illusion of floating solitaire pear-shaped stones, their martini tables balance delicate pear-shaped Venetian cast glass tops on bold, architectural steel bases, echoing Repossi's avant-garde aesthetic. This reinvention of transparency and lightness plays on the idea of weightlessness, a fundamental principle in jewelry design that has now been extended to furniture.

Charles Zana: The Antifer Table Lamp

French architect Charles Zana translated the asymmetrical rhythm of Repossi's Antifer ring into an elegant table lamp. Featuring a hand-carved walnut base stacked with finely grooved pear-shaped disks and topped with a graceful watercolor paper shade, the piece captures the dynamic interplay of soft curves and sharp angles that define the jewelry line. This dialogue between wood and metal reflects the harmony found in sculptural jewelry, where the balance of textures and geometric refinement plays a crucial role.

Louise Liljencrantz: The Berbere-Inspired Jewelry Box

Swedish designer Louise Liljencrantz reinterpreted the minimalist geometry of Repossi's Berbere collection in a striking jewelry box. Collaborating with Veermakers, Sweden's finest cabinetmakers, she crafted the piece in sycamore and pear veneer, with accents of bright red leather reminiscent of the Berbere Chromatic ring. The design channels the primary colors and structured compositions of Mondrian paintings, seamlessly integrating into Art Deco-inspired interiors. This marriage of fine cabinetmaking with jewelry aesthetics exemplifies the crossover between decorative and wearable art.

Courtney Applebaum: Hollywood Glamour with the Blast Mirror

Los Angeles-based designer Courtney Applebaum infused a sense of cinematic luxury into her interpretation of Repossi's Blast collection. The mirror, reflecting the contours of a head and neck, showcases a crystal rock accent on the upper part, while the neck features stacked gilded metal bangles. The piece references both the Japanese Enso art form and traditional Masai jewelry, embodying Repossi's fusion of ancient and modern artistry. This artistic choice echoes the layered influences that define the brand, blurring the line between traditional jewelry craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Founded in Turin in 1957 by Costantino Repossi, the Maison has evolved into one of the most innovative jewelry houses of its time. Under the artistic direction of Gaia Repossi, the brand redefines high jewelry, blending primitive influences with modern art and architecture, creating wearable masterpieces that push the boundaries of contemporary design. Repossi's heritage is deeply intertwined with the evolution of Place Vendôme, where the Maison has become a beacon of artistic excellence. With a passion for breaking conventions, the brand has continuously challenged the notion of traditional jewelry-making, presenting collections that merge architectural purity with a bold sculptural approach.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, luxury maisons such as Fabergé, Cartier, and Boucheron created not only high jewelry but also intricate objects like cigarette cases, vanity boxes, and even opulent furniture adorned with gemstone inlays. These pieces blurred the distinction between fine jewelry and interior decoration, making exquisite craftsmanship an integral part of daily life. The Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 1930s further solidified this fusion of disciplines. Influenced by Cubism and Bauhaus, designers like Jean Dunand and Eileen Gray created streamlined yet luxurious furnishings, often collaborating with jewelers to integrate precious materials and elaborate motifs into their designs. The present-day collaboration between Repossi and Invisible Collection echoes this spirit, elevating contemporary interiors with sculptural jewelry-inspired creations.

The collaboration between Repossi and Invisible Collection finds its roots in a long tradition of merging fine craftsmanship with artistic expression. The relationship between jewelry and decorative arts can be traced back to the Renaissance, when goldsmiths such as Benvenuto Cellini were also master sculptors, producing both wearable art and grand objets d'art for Europe’s nobility.

The Repossi-Invisible Collection partnership marks a significant moment in the ongoing evolution of high jewelry and home design. As the boundaries between disciplines continue to blur, the concept of luxury is expanding beyond personal adornment into everyday spaces. This collaboration serves as a testament to the idea that true craftsmanship transcends function, elevating even the most practical objects into works of art.

Each piece is available for purchase exclusively through Invisible Collection's online platform, inviting collectors and connoisseurs to bring a touch of Repossi’s elegance into their homes. As luxury evolves, so too does the way we experience art, reinforcing the enduring relationship between fine jewelry, design, and the spaces we inhabit.
