A new series of graphic pieces was developed for the exhibition season of Imaginarium, the latest jewelry collection by designer and goldsmith Erika Lima. Conceived as a visual extension of the collection, the graphic language translates the essence of each piece into a cohesive and immersive communication system.
Imaginarium draws its primary inspiration from architecture, particularly the interplay of structure, geometry, light, and shadow. Each jewel reflects a careful balance between precision and experimentation, where form is both constructed and deconstructed through the manipulation of lines, volumes, and reflections.
The collection is organized into three distinct families, each exploring a specific visual and material language. Lines & Minimalism focuses on purity and reduction, highlighting delicate contours and subtle compositions. Reflexes investigates the behavior of light across surfaces, emphasizing brilliance, transparency, and optical effects through the use of polished metals and gemstones. Structures & Shapes embraces more complex and sculptural forms, where bold geometries and layered constructions define the identity of each piece.
Across all three families, the selection of metals and precious stones plays a fundamental role, reinforcing the conceptual narrative while adding depth and contrast. Together, the collection and its graphic system establish a dialogue between object and image, material and perception — inviting the viewer into a carefully constructed imaginative universe.
