Rita Holanda: The elegance of pearls

Rita Holanda

The Brazilian jeweller Rita Holanda, who has been living in Madrid for the last four years, is fascinated by innovative designs and materials: from exotic leathers from the Amazon, to Brazilian stones, or the highly fashionable Galuchat.

She brings to this fair the "Capim Dourado", a material totally unknown by the European audience, which she combines with the more traditional sterling silver and gold.

The "Capim Dourado" is a grass of a golden colour which only exists in one part of the world: Jalapão, a northern region of Brazil.

The skilled hands of the inhabitants of Jalapão saw its threads one by one converting them in handicrafts of great beauty used for decoration, apparel and jewellery. To avoid the disappearance of the golden grass, the Brazilian authorities have set strict rules for its annual harvest, forbidding its commercialization as raw material.

Considering the skills of the craftsmen, each item becomes a true natural jewel.

Among the various materials appearing in her creations is the galuchat, stingray leather used by the most prominent luxury brands. Thanks to this noble material, Rita prepared a collection named "eyes of Miró". Fascinated by the famous Spanish artist she used him as her inspiration and the resulting creations are particularly modern, chic and beautiful, the theme and the material marrying to perfection.

Rita surprises also with her modern and delicate jewels made of Brazilian stones... The versatility of this artist is outstanding, the result of serious, ongoing and passionate research.

Orhopa 2008

Publié le 10 septembre 2008

par M-D.S

Le week-end dernier je suis allée faire un tour à Orhopa, le salon professionnel pour les industries horlogerie, bijouterie, joaillerie, argent, mode et griffes qui s'est tenu au Parc Floral du Bois de Vincennes. J'ai découvert de nouveaux créateurs et j'ai flashé sur quelques nouveautés...

Rita Holanda. Cette créatrice (Brésilienne) et son mari (Français), basés en Espagne proposent des bijoux très particuliers constitués d'herbe dorée. Oui des vrais brins d'herbe, 100 % naturels, qui ressemblent à des fils d'or, poussent au Brésil dans un endroit très protégé et ne peuvent être exportés de leur pays d'origine que si ils ont déjà été tressés sur place. Rita en a donc fait des bracelets, des pendentifs, des broches qu'elle a liés de fils d'or très fins (18 carats cette fois). Pour ma part, je n'avais jamais rien vu de semblable. L'autre collection de Rita Holanda en or et galuchat inspirée des toiles de Miro est elle aussi très originale !

Para a exposiçao Amazonia Design, Moda e Economia Sustentável no Word Financial Center, em Nova York, foi reunido alguns dos mais talentosos profissionais brasileiors da área de design e moda que trabalham com a inspiraçao, técnicas e matérias-primas da Amazônia, cujo produto nao deixa de lado o uso de materiais reciclados e tecnológicos sintonizados com a preocupaçao ambiental.

Participantes: Arthur Casas, Alexandre Herchcovitch, André Lima, Etél Carmona, Fernando jaeger, Fibra Design Sustentável, Hugo França, Isay Weingel, Pedro Petry, LinoVilaventura, Osklen, Rita Holanda e Carlos Casntatti, SPFW, Sergio Fahrer, Comunidades Caboclas, Comunidades Indigenas e outros.
