Florian
A new brand for us this month, Florian aims to ‘set its wearer free from the bonds of banality, to explore new dimensions of fantasy, imagination and physicality.’

Born in 1967 in Austria, Florian Lastaetter graduated in Advanced Metal Design from the University of the Applied Arts in Vienna and a Degree in Philosophy at the University of Munich. His work represents a combination of his cerebral and material interests and has won him great international acclaim. He has collaborated with numerous designers and corporations to create original designs, including a range of chandeliers for Lobmeyr in Vienna, showpieces for Hussein Chalayan and a range of jewellery for Elizabeth Arden.

We have a total of 14 styles on the site – the collection takes inspiration from Monte Carlo shore side adventures. Laid flat the look is like ripples on the ocean – Red bevelled beads and silver link necklaces and bracelets are in blood red and diesel black, knotted, woven and intertwined like a complicated sailor’s knot. Amazing stuff!
