Controlled Desires
Enter into a deep state of contemplation courtesy of Vancouver-born artist Fin Simonetti. After graduating from OCAD U in 2009, Simonetti began exploring the art of sculpture and stained glass. Through her dreamlike designs,
she delves into the relationship between measures of control and the desire for security. Simonetti unlocks our visceral fears, moving between sculptural forms to depict protection and vulnerability. Discover Fin Simonetti’s work at finsimonetti.com.

Shining Tradition
Taking on a reimagined form, the sacred lotus finds itself the inspiration behind Van Cleef & Arpels’s latest collection, entitled Lotus. The fine assortment combines 1920s floral arrangements with 21st-century sparkle, using the mise-à- jour technique to achieve the diamonds’ maximum brilliance. These coruscating arrangements come in an assortment of earrings, necklaces, and rings that capture the purity and beauty of the flower they embody.
