PIXEL BY VANNI: Classical refinement in an age of technology.

The smallest unit of information in a digital image is the pixel. Here it forms the ‘grain’ of a block-acetate designed exclusively for VANNI.  

VANNI’s Pixel collection takes the infinitesimal squared mesh of digital graphics and makes it 3-D, playing on the transparency and light effects of a material that is all micro-cubes of varying sizes and colours, alternating full-empty spaces, and with a rich classical refinement.

This collection yields its qualities to the discerning eye, alert to the minute detail.  The shapes are unisex, with single-colour tops or a plain ground. To enhance textural subtlety we have coffee-gold, anthracite grey or vibrant violet-yellow.
