Thomas Mann opened Gallery I/O in New Orleans in 1988 after developing the gallery concept over his many years of work and travel in the design industry. In addition to housing the largest collection of jewelry by Thomas Mann, Gallery I/O offers a variety of contemporary jewelry, home accessories and unique gifts by dozens of artists. Gallery I/O, which stands for “Insight-Full Objects”, offers work that combines elements of the American Craft movement, European design aesthetic and traditional fine arts to yield a unique visual idiom, inviting new understanding of how craft, art and design are experienced.
