The multiple, in its relations with art and industry, is the starting
point for an investigation into the evolution of jewelry design. In
going beyond an obsolete notion of industrial serial production,
contempo¬rary jewelry stands out as a highly innovative field of
research, for its ability to understand the object through new
esthetics, meanings and materials, towards an idea of a singular
multiple. The book concludes with the story of a collective design
experience that involved several figures of the contemporary jewelry
scene in Italy, through the organization of co-projects and workshops,
aimed at the dissemination of a design culture that takes into
consideration new technologies and digital processes currently under
way.
