Arco Studio - Scarpa

Introducing Arco Studio: A New Chapter in Form

Arco Studio was born from a personal longing to experiment with more solid forms. During this period, I found myself increasingly drawn to the presence and permanence of metal — pieces that felt architectural, grounded and sculptural when worn.

It felt natural to introduce this exploration as a new thread within the Chalk family. Arco Studio allows me to push further into the language of structure and form, translating the architectural principles that have always inspired my work into jewellery that feels bold, tactile and enduring.

The first collection within this chapter is Scarpa.

The Scarpa Collection

The Scarpa collection takes its inspiration from the work of the remarkable Italian architect Carlo Scarpa. In particular, it references Brion Tomb (often called Tomba Brion), Scarpa’s extraordinary concrete-cast cemetery located in San Vito d'Altivole near Treviso, Italy.

Scarpa’s architecture is known for its poetic balance of weight and delicacy. At Tomba Brion, raw concrete structures meet precisely carved geometries, layered planes, and moments of quiet reflection. The space feels both monumental and intimate.

These architectural gestures became the starting point for the Scarpa pieces. Solid forms, strong silhouettes and carefully considered proportions echo the rhythm of Scarpa’s concrete compositions, translating architectural language into wearable design.

Each piece explores the relationship between structure and simplicity — sculptural forms that feel both modern and timeless.
