MANUEL BOZZI 2008

Manuel Bozzi, born in Pisa (Italy) in 1973, started his own company Clan Banlieue in 2003. Since 2004 he presents his collections of jewels and accessories worldwide.

In March 2006 a techno-minimal music piece with The Sound of Jewels, produced by Prudo (an Italian DJ), accompanied for the first time a collection.

The design by Manuel Bozzi seems masculine. Is it a “men’s” collection?

"The design of Manuel Bozzi’s jewels is (conceived to be) “unisex”. Some jewels come across as strong but romantic, others gentler but decisive. The feminine and masculine aspects are always present...and it’s exactly that coexistence of both components that gives Manuel’s jewels the “romantic determination” that characterizes them. So the final choice belongs to the consumer, who in perceiving in a subjective manner the form, weight, and size, will find that which is closest to his/her nature."
