History
Migrating from Florence, Italy, to Sydney, Australia, in 1979, Angiolo and his wife, Ilaria Cornaggia Medici , established the silver workshop, 'Puzzle', in the inner-city suburb of Paddington. Here they employed a small team of silversmiths who used traditional techniques to produce Angiolo's Australian-inspired forms. Over the next twenty years, Angiolo and Ilaria would travel regularly around Australia, often with their good friend and landscape photographer, Wesley Stacey, fueling their interest in local plants and animals and generating ideas for their designs.
While Angiolo sketched and modeled his designs and ran the workshop, Ilaria managed the adjoining gallery that sold the Puzzle merchandise. It also stocked a small range of imported Italian silver by designers, such as Brandimarte, De Vecchi, Pampaloni and Gatto Bianco. Until its closure in 2006, Puzzle remained a popular source of high-quality souvenirs and corporate gifts that also appealed to collectors and the general public.
The Logi designs enjoy an unrivaled reputation for their originality and quality of craftsmanship. One of their Australia Puzzles has been presented to the Queen, a 60th birthday gift given by Bob Hawke from the people of Australia. More recently the Three Tenors received a Puzzle each and SOCOG presented a Puzzle to Athens to congratulate them on their successful Olympic bid. Other notable collectors include Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder.
