ABOUT ME
My name is Flavia, I was born in Turin, and I graduated in architecture. After having gained 10 years of experience in the world of museum and fair design and set-up, I decided to change and dedicate myself exclusively to my creations.After years of trials, experiments, failures and achievements, I never stop studying and experimenting!
I get inspired by everything I’m passionate about: travel, books, art, food, music, dance and fashion.
“Crisis is the greatest blessing for people and nations, because crisis brings progress. Creativity is born from anguish as the day is born from the dark night. It is in the crisis that inventiveness, discoveries and great strategies arise”
…in 1931 so wrote Albert Einstein, and so ARKYFLY was born in 2010, precisely from a difficult working period.
All my works are designed and conceived by me, laser cut in my laboratory in Turin, and subsequently assembled by hand.
I am environmentally conscious and try not to throw anything away. I reuse my “beautiful” scraps to create nice clips that I give away together with the purchase of my products, and this year I have introduced a new product: recycled acrylic! I recover all the processing waste, which would otherwise be thrown away, and with a long process of thermofusion and pressing, I recreate a new slab, which I use to make unique and unrepeatable bijoux.
