Artist Statement
Using a colorful pastel palette reminiscent of her 80's California coast childhood, MPR designed the L'Age D'Or collection using art deco motifs to translate her own personal golden era. The collection is made from MPR's signature nylon-coated steel, sterling silver, crystal quartz and amazonite.
