This could define the jewels of French Hervé van der Straeten (1965). Trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, is a designer known for his jewelry collections as well as the creation of gilded bronze ornaments or furniture which he published himself in his own gallery. It is a craftsman with an inexhaustible imagination.

It was opened as a jewelry designer hole in the vicinity of Parisian haute couture for his work in Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Thierry Mugler and Christian Lacroix. In the 90′s gave way to the interior architecture and devised, for example, the shoe boutique in Paris Roger Vivier. And ten years ago opened his gallery in the neighborhood of Le Marais. They sell their pieces, sometimes unique, sometimes limited editions. There are plenty of mirrors, tables and lamps hanging from the ceiling, all exposed as if it were the latest pieces of art. The creations can be seen from the Art Deco overtones, but in others, air baroque or oriental inspiration. The forms: geometric, asymmetric, plants, animals … It’s in Herve.

Its architectural lines and materials processing, as if sculpted, made ​​from pieces of French modern icons. With the style of jewelry that I have found in Van der Straeten, I like the gold again.
