Independent Design Practice

where architecture

meets the hand

jewellery shaped through structure, observation and the hand.

the philosophy

a fenda is structure.

form first, material second, the hand always.
everything exists for balance.
time matters.
surface remembers.
weight becomes presence.

where form creates space, space creates presence.

fenda

commissions

built through conversation

every commission begins with the person who will live with the object.

stone, proportion and material are considered together, allowing each piece to develop individually rather than from a predetermined form.

begin the process

founded by bruno candido and leandro riccioppo, fenda studio grew from a shared interest in objects, art, architecture and the way people live with things. bruno’s background in architecture and visual arts informs the studio’s approach to proportion, structure and composition, while years of making jewellery by hand have shaped a practice where design and making remain closely connected. founded in sydney in 2020, the studio relocated to the netherlands in 2026, beginning a new european chapter while remaining deliberately small and hands-on.
