Features:
- The over-arching concept and the design for this edition have been led by Marco Colasanti— entrepreneur, designer and president of the Foundation’s Italian chapter. The artist and the institution both appear as co-signatories on a design filled with references to the Principality of Monaco and its ruling family. The United Nations is also tagged, with the symbols of its sustainable development goals engraved into the blind cap.
- Life combines sculpted elements in brass and sterling silver with machined aluminium. Painted finishes add points of intrigue on both the brass cap—a polar bear family adrift on an Arctic ice floe—and a conical aluminium barrel. Its signature ‘thermometer’ clip assembly uses silver/vermeil components crowned with a white topaz—symbolic of the North Star.
