Robert Tannen and Mignon Faget

Mignon Faget unveils A-RT,

a Robert Tannen Collection

New Orleans artist and urban designer, Robert Tannen has designed a collection of jewelry to symbolize the love and commitment people have to the cultural legacy and future of the Gulf Coast region.

The shotgun house is a ubiquitous form of the gulf coast with historic origins in Africa and Europe. This form is the basis for many larger commercial, institutional and public structures.

The concrete block is a universal building material used throughout the world with historic origins in stone, clay, mud and snow blocks. Tannen views it as a simple and beautiful symbol of rebuilding.

“The shotgun house and the concrete block provide an abstract foundation for my work in drawing, sculpture, and urban planning,” says Tannen.

Founded in 1969, Mignon Faget, Ltd. is a jewelry design, production and marketing organization owned and operated by New Orleans artist and jewelry designer Mignon Faget. Mignon Faget, Ltd. is proud to present Robert Tannen’s collection of jewelry.

The Shotgun Pendant and Concrete Block Pendant are etched, folded and hand crafted in sterling silver or 14K gold. The Shotgun Pendant is also available in bronze verdigris or wood.
