Tzuri Gueta

The first time I saw Tzuri Gueta’s creations in Milan some year ago I fell in love with his organic jewels. Soon he became one of the most interesting upcoming designers, attracting the attention of several haute-couture design houses for collaboration.His most recent activity is a luminaires installation for the “Il était une fois Playmobil” at the toy gallery of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris…

“The famous “happy accident” whilst experimenting has lead to Tzuri Gueta – Paris-based textile and jewelry designer – becoming the recognised master of silicone jewelry. Through experimentation, Gueta developed a way to extrude hot silicone through silk tubes and lace fabrics to create these luscious forms.
Silicone penetrates the tiniest fissures and cavities of fabric, blending perfectly with all textures. It can imitate wood, ivory, coral or leather, taking on their physical qualities, infusing them with a subtle luminosity, while adding new forms and agreeable textures.
Necklaces, bracelets, rings and accessories, their surfaces are surprisingly tactile, their effect is ironic and yet very sophisticated.”

Meng Jin

Every room is illuminated, a fascinating, ethereal seres by Meng Jin…

“…These photographs show how reality changes with the use of different exposures and computer manipulation, resulting in overly bright lights. The lights are so bright that they appear to be on the verge of blowing out. This reminds of me the notion of vanishing power…”

Ivonne Thein

The striking thirty-two kilos series by Ivonne Thein, a strong visual reflection on the Pro Ana phenomenon:

“the Internet movement Pro Ana elevates anorexia nervosa to the status of a new, positive lifestyle for young women. The Internet has become the virtual home to diverse communities [...] On these sites, this extreme body ideal is illustrated with abundant visual material [...] The health risks of this lifestyle, however, disappear from view. At the same time, one also regularly finds photographs on these sites that the trained eye can recognize as having been manipulated”

Sounds Like me by Lind&James

Sounds Like me by Lind&James, an interesting and innovative example of interaction between the jewel and the owner…

“Sounds like me involves the owner becoming connected to the brooch visually
and also by means of sound. We take a sound sample recorded by the
potential owner, mix it, record the new sound bite onto a cassette tape
and then form the brooch from that recorded cassette. The result of the
collaboration between owner and designer, means that the owner has
become part of the piece. Once completed, the brooch will be able to be
heard through a sound file on our website…”
