Cuff Bracelet

Object Details

Luce Center Label
In 1968, Miyé Matsukata said, "I would like to maintain a spirit of design that is quiet and free. I feel metal can have a life if it has motion and less rigid confines." With the layering of fluid shapes, this bracelet assumes the lightness she hoped to achieve.
