Artist Statement : Jesse Aviv is reviving the legacy of chainmail in the 21st century. Every Free Maison creation is crafted one ring at a time. In a world of mass-produced fashion, Free Maison is committed to sustainability. As chainmail armor has for thousands of years, our pieces are designed to last a lifetime. Each item is produced by hand out of anodized aluminum in the New York City metropolitan area. Aluminum does not rust, and the anodization process, in addition to adding color, further protects the metal against wear. Many styles are made to order with one-of-a kind patterning of weaves, so that each piece is a unique work of art. Chainmail, the armor of knights and nobles in prior millennia, now adorns those who want to make a bold statement. Modern armor still grants a sense of safety, protection, and freedom to take on a dangerous world. Our chainmail creations are designed to transcend traditional fashion norms, offering something special for anyone who values exclusivity and craftsmanship.
