ABOUT
Tiziana Redavid was a student at the Turin Polytechnic Architecture School in 1987 when she made a circumstantial discovery. From the factory floor of a manufacturer of industrial springs she discovered that leftover stainless steel springs were quite beautiful on her wrist. The finder’s creative spark was lit right there and an artistic idea burgeoned into a commercial one. In 1997, Tiziana launched La Mollla, which means spring in Italian, but with an extra L for its stretchiness. Tiziana Redavid is an internationally-recognized architect and industrial designer with offices in Paris and Turin. La Mollla jewelry is made from springs from the Turin factory, and assembled and finished in France.

DESCRIPTION
The beginning of the 20th century saw increasing complexity in the study of mathematics and it heralded the use of three dimensional models as teaching aids. One of these was the Kuen Surface, a rare example of a surface with constant negative curvature, first described by the German mathematician Alfred Enneper (1830-1885).
In 1936 Man Ray was hired by the art journal Cahiers d’Art to photograph the mathematical models of non-euclidean geometry at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. These models went on to be exhibited alongside many surrealist and modernist works at the Grand Palais. Man Ray’s series of photographs and paintings called Shakespearean Equations contributed to liberating these forms from the isolation of scientific research, and presented to the public the world of mathematical elegance. This accurate representation of the Kuen surface is made in Germany of walnut wood, in a small production run.
