welcoming whimsy
Magnetic pewter, sombre wood, exotic horn, limpid glass. Architectural and anarchic shapes. Surprising, yet perfectly crafted combinations… Anne-Marie Chagnon surrounds herself with everything she needs to break away from everyday conformity. Inspiration, meanwhile, awaits everywhere she goes. When she ventures through the city, a grandiose bridge may spark her imagination, as could a humble balcony just as easily. Her creative spirit is equally influenced by seemingly incompatible concrete objects and the most fanciful musings.
Her head filled with ideas, she retires to the country to fill her notebooks and craft her latest ideas. Jazz or hard rock sets the mood as this daughter of an engineer delights in linking together the varied components of her pieces. These unique combinations lend each handmade item its own playful character.
A creative team joins Anne-Marie in her workshop, where she experiments with different versions of her pieces until the right model emerges. Then, after a few select adjustments, the creation comes alive. Gleaming just as she had imagined, it is immediately recognizable for her signature look. Anne-Marie Chagnon's collections are born of an effervescent universe. They captivate the eye and allow the wearer – male or female – absolute freedom of personal expression.
