More on Repossi Repossi perpetuates the creative family heritage of three generations as a high jewelry house.The jewelry house began in Turin in 1957 when Constantino Repossi opened his first boutique after studying industrial design and developing a pronounced taste for Art Deco. The legacy continued when his son Alberto added an international dimension by moving to Monte-Carlo in the late 70’s and becoming the official jeweler to the royal family of Monaco. From the glamour of the 80’s to the elegance of the Parisian avant-garde when the house settled into the Place Vendôme in 1986, Repossi anchors in its time by continuously offering a new incarnation of jewelry. Gaia Repossi was born in 1986, in Turin (Italy). She grew up instilled with the passion for jewelry from Alberto, her father, and grandfather and developed very early a taste for visual arts. After studying painting at the Beaux Arts school in Paris, she pursued a course in Archeology. In 2007, she joined her father to work at the family House and took on the role of Artistic and Creative Director to instill her innovative vision. Her inspirations reflect her passion for artists like Joseph Beuys, Franz West, Donald Judd, Robert Mapplethorpe, Walter de Maria or Robert Smithson. Her influences are also architectural, including the Bauhaus and Le Corbusier, and the new boutique in Place Vendôme is the result of her encounter with Rem Koolhaas. Her openness to the world also has an influence on her collections inspired by sometimes distant cultures and times, crossing tribal or ancient references to combine simplicity and complexity. Gaia Repossi has regenerated the vision of the house by reinventing the traditional codes of jewelry. She combines primitive jewelry with art and architecture to create bold pieces intended to be worn as a second skin. Particularly known today for its emblematic collections that play with notions of full and empty as Serti sur Vide, which is characterized by floating diamonds. Antifer is recognizable with its peaks and sharp angles, and Berbere repeats minimalist lines. The timeless creations with resolutely bold and architectural lines push the limits of traditional craftsmanship and positions Repossi as the most avant-garde jewelry house on the Place Vendôme.
