Cassandra has long held an admiration for the brilliant designs of the Finnish duo Alvar and Aino Aalto ( 1898-1976). Inspired by Alvar's Espa chair design, whose woven seat has a strength belied by its beauty, she created a cuff of interwoven ribbons of sheet metal that boldly encircles the wrist. Cassandra often wears them as a pair , one for Alvar, one for Aino. From the Journey to Scandinavia.
Aalto Espa cuff in silver. This bracelet measures approximately 62mm.
