concept
This menswear jewelry collection represents a new vision on a future lifestyle in which adapting to the new is balanced with respecting the old. Resulting in pieces that serve as a bridge connecting both worlds, but also as armour. Designs are inspired by warriors, assuming that everyone in some sense is a warrior. Warriors combine two sides to their nature: one side is meant to protect and hide, the other is ready to attack out in the open and push boundaries. The black star becomes a symbol of this duality, made using metal and silver to embed gems in spheres protruding outside from the pieces. Black rubber, leather and rivets are combined through traditional plaiting techniques, incorporating both past and present.
