Featured design collections from to draw insight and inspiration for art & interior decoration.

Interi decorates fragment artifacts with minerals, precious gems, fossil agate coral, and fossil shells — creating a piece that appears to have evolved together over time. Interpreting the past to create a piece entirely original, evolving in its own right.

Fragment Creations are 16th to 18th-century Italian artifacts that have fallen into disuse. Once works of art that adorned churches throughout Europe, these antiquities have been taken away from their original context and changed their significance. The fragments are decorated with precious gems, baroque pearls, fossil agate coral, and minerals, bringing into existence a contemporary work of old and new.

Usually, a fragment has gone past restoration but, because of its age and intricate carvings, is still a work of art. I became interested in the fragments when I saw more than the discarded artifact, but a piece that could be made beautiful again.
