LATTUADA Jewelry
Conceived as an extension of his artistic practice, LATTUADA Jewelry explores the possibilities of sculpture on an intimate, wearable scale.
Each piece originates from an investigation of form, spatial relationships and material equilibrium. Precious metals, natural stones and pearls become elements of compositions in which balance, tension and movement play a central role.
Designed by Gianluca Lattuada and developed through limited and numbered editions, the collection approaches jewelry not simply as ornament, but as an object of artistic expression.
Beyond the studio
Creative direction
Alongside his independent artistic practice, Gianluca Lattuada is co-founder and creative director of Lattuada+Vargas, an international creative agency operating between Milan and Madrid.
With more than 100 creative campaigns developed, the agency works across communication, visual identity, branding and design for organizations, institutions and brands. Its approach brings together strategic thinking, creative direction and visual communication, translating complex ideas into distinctive and coherent creative projects.
Cinema
Cinema represents a further dimension of Lattuada’s visual research, extending his investigation into the relationship between image, time and perception.
Through directing, screenwriting and experimental audiovisual work, he explores the narrative possibilities of duration, spatial composition and the moving image. His practice moves between independent filmmaking and visual experimentation, examining how images can construct meaning beyond conventional narrative structures.
