etrás de los niños que esperan ilusionados la llegada del último videojuego, el más divertido, el más real, el más fantasioso o adictivo, detrás de todo esto, hay una industria multimillonaria, engranada hasta el más mínimo detalle y cuyos designios mueven montañas en todos los rincones del mundo. Jugar es una tendencia al alza, lo demuestran los números. En España, este sector generó el año pasado casi 1.100 millones de euros, una cantidad superior a la generada por la industria de la música grabada (161 millones) o la industria del cine (571 millones). Las cifras a nivel mundial son también reveladoras, a la par que apabullantes: un negocio de 90.000 millones de dólares que en 2018 podría superar los 113.000, según datos de Newzoo. No es un incremento casual, obviamente. Sirva de ejemplo para ilustrarlo lo que ocurre con los zombies. ¿Han visto alguna vez la serie francesa The Revenants? En ella, los cadáveres despiertan de su tumba casi peinados, con un cuerpo estupendamente conservado y la única tacha de un alma atormentada por las implicaciones sociales y psicológicas que su regreso conlleva.

ehind the children who eagerly await the arrival of the latest video game, the most fun, the most real, the most fantastic or the most addictive, behind all this is a multimillion dollar industry organised down to the last detail whose intentions move mountains in all corners of the world. Playing is a rising trend; it’s all in the numbers. In Spain, this industry had a turnover of nearly €1.1 billion last year, which is much higher than the turnover brought it by the recorded music industry (€161 million) or the film industry (€571 million). Global figures are also revealing, as well as overwhelming: a $90 billion business that in 2018 could rake in more than $113 billion, according to data by Newzoo. It is not a random increase, obviously. Just take a look at what happens with zombies. Have you ever seen the French series Les Revenants? In it, the corpses awaken from their tombs looking nearly immaculate, with beautifully preserved bodies, and the only blemish is a soul tormented by the social and psychological implications of its return.

CON LA CLARA INTENCIÓN DE LLEGAR A UN PÚBLICO MÁS JOVEN, LOS RESPONSABLES DE POMELLATO DECIDIERON EXPANDIR SU UNIVERSO CREANDO UNA NUEVA MARCA. WITH THE CLEAR INTENTION OF REACHING A YOUNGER AUDIENCE, THE HEADS AT POMELLATO DECIDED TO EXPAND THE POMELLATO UNIVERSE AND CREATE A NEW BRAND.

l nombre de Dodo nos remite a una especie de pájaro endémico de las Islas Mauricio ya extinguido que no podía volar. Es precisamente ese relato, lleno de exotismo y candidez, el que sirvió como punto de partida para diseñar una colección de joyas más divertida, simbólica y repleta de fantasía. Son productos creados con un único gramo de oro, más asequibles, por tanto, y especialmente dirigidos a un público exigente que demanda calidad pero que sabe perfectamente como combinar un atuendo más informal con unos buenos complementos. En ese terreno se mueve justamente Dodo, quien ha apostado fuertemente por la personalización. Sus joyas combinan bien sin alardes; están disponibles en varios tamaños y evocan un sinfín de temas como la naturaleza, el amor, la amistad o la buena suerte. Pingüinos, corazones, candados y ¡hasta la Luna! Con motivos como estos, imposible no sentir que uno tiene estrella o que está locamente enamorado. Todas las caras del amor Una de las últimas colecciones que ha lanzado Dodo se llama More Love. No es una serie que pretenda solo evocar la idea del amor romántico, sino que más bien pone en liza un horizonte abierto, energético, inclusivo y vital. De este concepto nace una serie de colgantes corazón -con superficie irregular- interpretados en oro amarillo, rosa y blanco, embellecidos con dos elementos distintos. Por un lado, puede llevar una microestrella con diamante blanco o negro; y por otro, un engaste especial de diamantes negros con efecto sombreado, visible en el reverso de la joya.

l nThe name Dodo refers to a now extinct bird species native to the San Mauritius Islands that could not fly. It was in fact that story, full of exoticism and candour, which served as the starting point to design a more fun and more symbolic collection of jewellery full of fantasy. They are items created with a single gram of gold, thus making them more affordable, and are especially targeted at a discerning customer base that demands quality but knows how to combine a more informal outfit with good accessories. This is precisely the terrain of action of Dodo, which is heavily focused on customisation. Its pieces can be combined without fanfare. They come in several sizes and evoke an array of themes, including nature, love, friendship and good luck. Penguins, hearts, padlocks and even the moon! With themes such as these, it’s impossible for you not to feel like you have a lucky star or are madly in love. All the faces of love One of the latest collections released by Dodo is called More Love. It’s not a series that seeks to evoke the idea of romantic love, but rather creates an open, energetic, inclusive and vital horizon. This concept is the springboard for a family of heart-shaped pendants (with an uneven surface) interpreted in yellow, rose and white gold adorned with two distinct elements: either a micro-star with a black or white diamond or black diamonds set in a unique way with a shaded effect visible on the back side of the piece.
