Loewe collaborates with artist Lynda Benglis for jewellery collection

Loewe launches a jewellery collection designed in collaboration with avant-garde artist Lynda Benglis, a major figure in post-war American sculpture and one of the most influential artists working today.

The jewellery collection debuted at the Spring/Summer 2024 womenswear collection show in Paris. There are 20 designs in total, conceived as wearable sculptures. Lynda Benglis has always been fascinated by exploring the possibilities of materials and techniques, bending, knotting, pleating, pouring and extruding materials into shape. In her studio in Santa Fe, Mexico, she uses materials such as thin foil, metal mesh, clay, metal wire and polyurethane to make jewellery models, which are then transformed into jewellery such as rings, bracelets, brooches, earrings and pendants made of 18K gold, pure silver, aluminum, enamel and crystal.

Lynda Benglis was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA in 1941. She has been creating for over 60 years. During this period, she has been constantly exploring the concept of innovative art forms and material properties. She uses a variety of materials such as polyurethane, latex, gold powder, paper, plaster, bronze and water to create works, constantly challenging the inherent concept of sculpture creation. Lynda Benglis's jewellery is worn on the body in constant motion, just like the idea that her sculptures are constantly changing with the surrounding environment.
