OFFICINE ORAFE
A passionate experimenter with artistic influences in jewellery, he became a designer by chance when he created a piece of jewellery for a friend in 1984. That was the beginning of a new life, guided by a passion that brought him to create the Officine Orafe brand in 1991.
His productions are distinguished by their versatility in the extraordinary processing of metals and precious and semiprecious stones with exclusive designs: all creations are unique pieces or limited-edition products.
"A jewel on the slopes of Vesuvius."
His workshop is located in the Chiaia area if Naples in the heart of the Neapolitan shopping district. In this extraordinary setting, the workshop's layout is striking in its simplicity and minimalism. Two display cases are located on the street, and the rest are inside the shop where the latest creations are displayed. There is also a large photo album of the various pieces that he has created over his twenty years of work, and there is also the small work area where Raimondo creates his pieces right before customers' eyes.
The same concept of minimalism distinguishes his creations with distinctively made-in-Italy features: the inimitable elegance and meticulous attention to detail typical of artisanal Italian design tradition.
