Occhi Filo

Turn the barrel and the same fragments never fall the same way twice. A catalogue of seven pieces, none of which will ever repeat.

The Gaze

Everything
is in motion

Occhi — eyes. Filo — thread. The house began with the divine eye: an amulet worked in thread, an object that looks back at whoever wears it.

The name is inherited. Bendocchi carries occhi — eyes — in its own spelling, and with it the old gesture of warding off the evil eye with a good one. Ancestry gave us the word; the work turned it into a question of how we look, and of everything a piece gives back to whoever meets its gaze.

That movement is the kaleidoscope. A handful of fragments, a set of mirrors, and an image that reorganises itself with the smallest turn. Nothing is lost, nothing is added — only rearranged.

Handwork is non-negotiable here. Not slow for the sake of it, but present: every stitch is a decision that no factory would take.

The full palette is shared on request. Tonal, clashing, or one single note — the eye reads differently in every combination.

Beading

Varied bead types by model: glass, metal, matte or mirrored. They are what catch the light as you move.

Between two and four days of work per piece, depending on the model. Made to order, dates confirmed at booking.
