Today I’m starting a new column: Support the Handmade Revolution.
I’m going to tell you the stories of the makers that I like the most, found around the internet, or more often known during some handmade market, as for the one I’m introducing to you today.

Flatwig is a independent design project by Erica Agogliati and Francesca Avian, who have chosen one of the newest forms of handmade: the laser cut.

That’s it, laser-cut, as well as 3D printing, as forms of self-production, are now ready to be officially recognized as pure forms of handmade production. Maybe not in the traditional sense of the term, but for a geek like me the coincidence between these notions sounds perfect.

Erica are Francesca are young, but have made their way in a very short time, reflecting the fact that their idea is definitely a winning: raise your hand if you did not put one of their rings in your letter to Santa.

Forma is their first stainless steel jewels collection, conceived following this thought: “We love translating the forms, the materials and the traditions that are part of our everyday experience in a contemporary aesthetic.”.

Flatwig’s objects are laser cut by Vectorealism.

Berlin Memories

When we were in Alexander Platz we saw an astronaut printed on the tram window. Flatwig was about to come to light and we felt like this astronaut making a step into the outer space. The astronaut moved away from the window and became part of the universe of Flatwig.
