SO-LE STUDIO

Movement and Lightness in Jewelry

Naturally limited design objects

SO-LE STUDIO was founded in London under the direction of Maria Sole Ferragamo, with a mission to transform discarded materials—such as leather and brass—into unique jewelry, amulets, and accessories. Since 2019, its creative headquarters have been based in Milan, while production continues in the hills around Florence. SO-LE STUDIO’s creative principles reflect its brand philosophy: each piece is born from upcycled materials, transformed into one-of-a-kind design objects that are inherently limited in quantity. Maria Sole’s approach is rooted in the belief that scarcity can be a powerful source of strength and creativity. These sustainable artworks, inspired by themes of durability, dynamism, versatility, lightness, and provocation, evolve with each new collection, while the studio’s most iconic creations are reimagined through fresh tones and finishes, adding new layers of meaning to timeless designs.

Between Design and Craftsmanship

Maria Sole Ferragamo moves across leather craftsmanship, jewellery design, architecture and visual arts with a distinctive and contemporary approach. Educated in architecture at Politecnico di Milano and later specialising in Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins in London, her work reflects a refined understanding of form, material and artisanal technique. Through SO-LE STUDIO, she explores the dialogue between design and experimentation, creating pieces that balance sculptural research with Italian craftsmanship. Her work has been presented at Art Basel, MiArt and PAD London, and exhibited at Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan and Museo Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence.
