Piaget's Shapes of Extraleganza High Jewelry Collection represents a bold artistic statement that reinterprets the maison's avant-garde heritage through a contemporary lens. This second installment in a trilogy exploring Piaget's 1960s-70s creative roots pushes boundaries with 51 pieces that masterfully balance geometric precision and organic fluidity.
The Shapes of Extraleganza capsule serves as both homage and innovation. It draws inspiration from Piaget's historic collaborations with iconic artists like Dalí and Warhol while incorporating references to pivotal art movements, including Pop Art, Op Art, and psychedelic patterns. Designs play with dynamic contrasts — from sharp angles against sensual curves to rigid forms alongside flowing silhouettes. The jewelry transcends conventional adornment through architectural compositions featuring interlocking squares, triangles, and circles that recall modernist design landmarks like the Mondrian dress and Bubble chair.
