Since 1999, designer Sophie Digard has been designing fashion accessories and textile objects in her Paris studio. Inspired by the infinite variation of organic elements, Digard uses natural materials—Italian wool or Belgian linen—that are dyed to her specifications in a range of carefully selected colors. They are then sent to the Indian Ocean to be transformed into beautiful objects in Digard's own workshops. Each creation mirrors her belief that color is of primary importance, and she never repeats the same chromatic combination in any one object. All seemingly single threads are actually composed of two colors intermingled to create a subtle play of light and shade. Digard’s unique necklaces demonstrate the intersection between the artist’s intuitive and meticulous creative work and her artisanal know-how.
