"PLAIT"

Silviya, Italy

Plait and braid both refer to the same technique of interlacing strands of hair or material. The primary difference is regional: "plait" is more commonly used in British English, while "braid" is standard in American English. Both represent a woven, rope-like structure.

Interestingly, among Native Americans, braiding was a sacred connection to nature and a protective ritual. It was used to ward off negative energies. Having something that can protect us is a wonderful feeling.

"PLAIT" was designed for you in glass and with truly precious details.

"Plait" e "braid" si riferiscono entrambi alla stessa tecnica di intreccio di ciocche di capelli o materiali. La differenza principale è regionale: "plait" è più comunemente usato nell'inglese britannico, mentre "braid" è standard nell'inglese americano. Entrambi rappresentano una struttura intrecciata, simile a una corda. 

E un fatto interessante che nei Nativi Americani, la treccia è un legame sacro con la natura e un rituale di protezione. Veniva usata per allontanare le energie negative.

Avere con se qualcosa che possa proteggerci è una sensazione meravigliosa. 

"PLAIT" é stata progettata per voi in vetro e con dei dettagli veramente preziosi.

I am passionate about the world of Art since the childhood, which gradually involved me and the artistic passion burned within me more and more I approached to understand its secrets and mysteries, as long as it has not become an integral part of my life.

I express this feeling through ballet, painting and poetry. I was about 4 years old when I started with my very first drawings. My initial "style" was black and white, pencil or charcoal on plain paper and then, later on, as I grew up, I moved onto canvas. So I took the courage to use colors too - pastels and for about 20 years now, I've been using acrylic paint and my style has become modern abstract. 

I often experiment and create, inventing personalized techniques such as painting with sugar, for example, which requires a specific handle to be able to fix it on the canvas.

I am passionate about painting and also about product design. I am also a Product and Lighting Designer specialized in bringing together a sensitive and creative passion to light, with the ability to create quickly innovated individual superb designs that are fully functional and practical. I am interested in create design that makes a difference, always remaining extremely flexible to the needs of individuals and communities on a large scale in an international and global aspect. I find inspiration from all sources in the full awareness that what I create can even change a person's inner experience for the better and I put all my love into the process of creation. People will remember how you make them feel. And I love make people feel special, important. 

I have participated and continue to participate in many international competitions where I am often awarded for my artistic works, which are highly appreciated by critics.
