For the CHIAROSCURO edition, Esther and Dimitrios Tsatsas were inspired by the eponymous device used in painting. Ever since the Late Renaissance, the visual arts have relied on strongly contrasting light and dark in order to give bodies and forms clearer shape and emphasize their spatial character.
In the context of the limited CHIAROSCURO edition, black and ivory have been chosen as the colours to present in a composition of constrasting natural leathers – adding a new nuance to four models in the TSATSAS collection.
The colourful look of the clutch bag TAPE XS with its skillfully knotted leather creates an exciting visual disruption to its otherwise elegant clarity. And the two colours infuse the strict geometry of the minimalist clutch HAZE with a new touch of extravagance. The purist shape of the sculptural OLIVE shoulder bag is dazzlingly emphasized by the interchange of black and ivory, while in the CHIAROSCURO edition the square volume of the small hand and shoulder bag MALVA 2 has a new poignancy thanks to the asymmetrical juxtaposition of the two leather colours.
