A close-up look at the exclusive gathering at interior designer Luis Puerta's Casa Palacio as part of Suarez's 80th anniversary celebration.
The splendid palace home of interior designer Luis Puerta in Tendilla (Guadalajara) became the setting for an exclusive celebration to commemorate Suarez's 80th birthday.
Among other things, all attendees enjoyed a jewelry workshop where they were able to observe firsthand the profound influence of Art Deco on Suarez jewelry, learn about its raw materials, and learn about its selection process. A 360-degree experience that allowed them to appreciate the dedication and expertise behind each of our jewels.
An exceptional moment in which prominent members of Madrid's high society, VIPs, content creators, and directors of major media outlets witnessed a unique retrospective on the profound influence of Art Deco on our designs over eight decades of history.
The characteristic aesthetic codes of this artistic movement, which gained particular popularity between the 1920s and 1940s, had a great influence on the vast majority of decorative arts of the time.
The visual arts did not escape his influence either, so jewelry, and consequently Suarez's creations, were greatly influenced from the beginning, even becoming established as icons in their own right over time.
The roots of Art Deco spring directly from Art Nouveau and its Eastern influence, Symbolism, the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and the search for new artistic expressions.
However, while Art Nouveau is characterized by the use of fluid, naturally inspired forms and highly detailed designs featuring animal, human, or plant icons, Art Deco focuses entirely on geometric shapes, straight lines, angles, and consistent symmetry.
A style in which the structure itself is the protagonist of the jewelry, with designs that embrace the geometrization of shapes based on straight lines that delve into abstraction.
Another of the key features of Art Deco, which we continue to see reflected in some of our creations today, is the use of other hard stones (onyx, coral, opal, etc.) as main stones, without neglecting the main gemstones (diamond, ruby, sapphire, and emerald). This results in a striking contrast of colors and textures, sometimes even including enamels or reliefs on the metals themselves to create a greater sense of volume.
Since its heyday, Art Deco's presence in the jewelry world has diminished due to the changing pace of trends. Yet, throughout its 80-year history, we have remained faithful to some elements of this artistic movement, even fusing them with our own codes to bring to life great icons of the Suárez imagination.
A premise that we add to our concern to adapt to each moment without neglecting the pillars that support our home.
Today, and on the occasion of our 80th anniversary, we've focused on reviving the codes and values that have accompanied us for decades to develop new collections and events like this event at the Casa Palacio López de Cogolludo, a grand tribute to our origins and to maintain our unique essence for the future.
