An accessory collection made in collaboration between Achille Salvagni and Fabio Gnessi. Aldus aims to Revive the aesthetic ideals of Greek and Latin philosophy. Functional and aesthetic objects alike fuse organic forms and Latinate imagery with a distinctly contemporary mastery of material and abstraction.
