With the mind of an architect and the soul of an alchemist, designer Sergio Penteado mixes balanced amounts of wit and poetry in his collections. His designs introduce elements of surprise with the movement of its parts, unexpected reflexions created by mirrored surfaces and, above all, by the flexibility they allow. By offering the possibility of multiple combinations, his work invites the wearer to play a fundamental part in the magical game of artistic creation and become its co-author.
Sergio graduated in Architecture and Industrial Design at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, and studied Multimedia, Web Design and 3D modeling at San Francisco State University in California. He perfected his skills as a goldsmith, model maker and gemologist at the Revere Academy in San Francisco. He also experimented with sculpture, ceramics, blacksmithing and photography.
