Zadora Design Art Gallery

Born in Canada to Estonian parents, Zadora-Gerlof is known for his jewelry and clocks featuring precious stones carved into the shapes of animals and studded with diamonds and gold. Even after a hunting accident at the age of twelve, he did not give up his motivation and took up the profession to sculpt objects in three dimensions.
 
Zadora Design is the workshop of sculpting and art forms where, he creates elaborately mechanized clocks that are privately commissioned and run into millions of dollars, as well as architectural elements for private yachts, planes, and home interiors. He makes art pieces from marble, wood and gemstones. Marble and wood are relatively soft materials carved with chisels and hammers, whereas gemstones must be sculpted with saws and grinders. Although creating a sculpture out of gem material is a long and arduous process, when one observes the transformation from rough material to finished product, it almost seems as if the artist is a magician, who waves his magic wand.

At Zadora Design, each of the featured items has been created by Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof and his team of artisans. The art pieces from Zadora Design include collections like Jewellery pieces like cufflinks, brooches, ear clips, stud sets, necklets, bracelets; sculpted objects like rhinoceros; picture frames, letter openers, salt cellers; animal-inspired clocks; mechanical masterpieces inspired by frogs and eggs; architectural renderings and garden sculptures.
