REVIVRE RING, Concrete-Nickel. Nickel-plated concrete and brass ring shank.
DECADENCE – Collection 05 – by GALA curios (AU), a jewellery and accessories label by designer Jasmine Noir.
DECADENCE draws aesthetically on ruinous cities – landscapes which have been developed and then abandoned by humans, and overgrown once again by nature. Contrasting sharp geometry with organic, ornamental detail, the collection miniaturises the cycle of life, death and the beauty of decay.

22Design Studio (Taiwan) created a series of rings which were inspired by architectural design and urban style, made from cement and stainless steel. Smooth, cool concrete texture and various shapes of these rings emit calm yet inspiring design by the two young designers from Taiwan. (22 Design Studio was founded by Sean Yu and Yi-ting Cheng in 2005. The main mission of 22 Design Studio is to operate self-owned label 22™. The collection of 22™ presents series of personal accessories made of cement and metal)

Linda Hughes Square Neckpiece and bracelet

« Colour plays a very important part in your jewellery and it is often bold and bright. Would you consider this a signature style or do see yourself moving towards a different palette in the future?
The palette relates directly to street signage but I do feel free to incorporate other colours and don’t feel inhibited by it.
What ignited your interest in signs? Was it marked by a particular experience or moment?
Some of the urban landscape in Australia seems particularly contrived, like a theatre set. A mixture of international influences all mixed up, often without connecting to the environment. My attention is drawn to signs as ‘street furniture’ if you like, ‘props’. « 

Linda Hughes – Necklace

« In her new body of work, contemporary jeweller Linda Hughes explores the ‘stripe’, historically favoured as a metonym for danger, exclusion and as a device to attract attention. Hazard signage, ubiquitous in the urban landscape, changes when placed on the body as jewellery. In this exhibition, Hughes applies the visual language of the stripe to the sculptural form of the wearable. Displayed against as a series of graphic backdrops, the work explores the tension between body and environment, critiquing the complex theatre of public space. »

Linda Hughes -  necklace  – « It’s got legs » exhibition

« Shared Zone, is both the culmination of Linda Hughes master’s research and her first solo exhibition.
Hughes utilises the familiar urban language of invisible everyday objects such as road signs, posts and hazard markings. Juxtaposing these symbols on the body she uses them to define space and create landscape. Her work invites the wearer to become a part of the “theater of the wearable” that arises when the brooches, neckpieces and bangles are placed so as to interact and create their roles – transforming the body into a stage. »

Benita Dekel, Massconstruction – silver & concrete (ciment)

« Benita Dekel, a graduate of the Department of Jewelry Design at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design (Israël), developed a series of jewelry pieces that combine silver with concrete. The results of the combination of concrete, which we usually associate with heavy, industrial construction, and delicate constructions in silver is that despite being made of concrete the pieces do not appear heavy. The shapes of the pieces, which are very familiar, almost as though they have been taken from various construction sites, manage to surprise both in their shape and new function«

ça c’est du BETON ! – Bergner SCHMIDT

Bergner SCHMIDT

« When Ludwig Mies van der Rohe proclaimed: „please do not confuse the simple with the simple minded’, he characterized the formal principle of the label ’b.s. bergner schmidt’.
The label takes sensory overload, the fast pace of life and affluence in today’s society as a starting point for a new approach to fashion. Their clothes are reduced to form to focus on their essence and thus create a reaction to the fashion industry.
Working with concrete is an additional element to the label, a material which generates experimental accessories to complement the collection
The debut collection „baustoff (building material)“ takes its inspiration from Bauhaus and has been conceived on the basis of its maxim less is more’. Bauhaus stands for clean and cool aesthetics, and, together with the term Neue Sachlichkeit (new objectivity), it becomes the guideline for form and colouring of the collection.
’baustoff’ describes a collection which combines purist and constructive expression with subtle femininity. »
