Viola Pineider is the visionary artist and designer behind ARC—a brand that boldly redefines the boundaries between jewelry and sculptural art, where jewelry transcends mere adornment to become an immersive eXperience of sculptural art.
Born and raised in the storied streets of Florence, Italy, got a deep-rooted background in Italian carpentry and wood restoration. She refined her skills over a decade in traditional woodworking alongside master carpenters carrying out design projects honing her discerning aesthetic and technical expertise.
Viola merges reclaimed wood and noble silver to create sustainable, bold, and architectural limited-edition jewelry and design objects that challenge conventional notions of luxury.
Through her creations she is exploring both, the interplay and the boundaries, among human body, space, and material, creating bespoke artworks that are not merely accessories, but immersive expressions of sustainable luxury and innovative design.
Currently based in Rio de Janeiro, Viola seamlessly fuses the timeless elegance of Italian design with the bold, experimental spirit of Brazilian cultures.
In late 2018, her passion culminated in the birth of ARC— a creative design studio where every handcrafted piece is a work of art, meticulously forged from reclaimed special woods and a touch of noble silver.
