He&#8217;s a designer\/jeweller\/historian&#8230; To further explain, this is part of what I wrote about him in my MFA thesis document 2009:<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; Benjamin Lignel has trained in philosophy and literature, art history and furniture design. He explains on the Italian <em>Associazione Gioiello Contemporaneo<\/em> (the Association for Contemporary Jewellery) website, that his work\u00a0 \u201ccontinues to offer a design-led alternative to our craft-based profession: as an extended family of individual objects that hope to tackle specific aspects of body adornment\u201d &#8230; Lignel\u2019s works are made to engage with the machine, as the co-creator and as a muse.\u00a0 Because of this his works exhibit a design methodology.\u00a0 In order to fully engage with the machine he must, at every stage of design and manufacture, strive to reconcile his intent with the fast barriers that mass-production brings to his works.\u00a0 Lignel is well equipped, in both philosophical and practical terms, to deal with the ramifications of his manufacturing process.\u00a0 If design can be considered a way of finding new solutions to existing problems, Lignel is a jewellery designer.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new news!
