It’s time for TIME – Watch Inspired Jewelry

Ce doit être « l’air du temps » …..

Göran KLING – « Replica »  – Watch Inspired Jewelry

Göran KLING – « Many of the pieces in the new collection play on the standard wristwatch build, with an artistic pendant replacing the clock. Some pieces clearly herald standard watches while others interpret the pattern more liberally, with multiple bands or textured metal pieces in place of the watch face.  »

« elle se penche sur la montre et en conserve la trame pour un bracelet qui n’est que l’esprit de la montre, la forme première sans la fonction. L’idée, derrière cette montre bracelet est de faire oublier l’heure à celui qui la porte, à lui rappeler de prendre son temps. En acier plaqué or ou argent. »

Découverte : Göran Kling

« Göran Kling’s work. Big, bold and bizarre. » dit « The Bibelotphile » blog, où je l’ai découvert

« Swedish student Göran Kling, with a background as a goldsmith, based his degree project at University College of Arts Crafts and Design around thoughts on how jewellry in certain forms and shapes are valued different. His necklaces became stereotypes of classic forms and symbols (i e The Heart, The Cross, The Dolphin etc) and do of course suit this, the most recent era, of Pop Art Fashion.  » (july 2009) (blog 2faced1)

« Traditional items of jewelry are like images. Like representations of themselves. Images of ordinary things such as crosses, Mercedes emblems and hearts. Eagles, dolphins and wolves are also popular.
What the images represent does not seem to be that important. Wearing these symbols does not mean you need to have a particular relationship with dolphins, God or Mercedes cars.
The significance of a dolphin or a cross made of gold simply seems to be that it is an item of jewelry – something valuable. Something you were given by your grandmother when you were confirmed or by your children on your 60th birthday.   » (Göran Kling - Bachelor / Ädellab/Metal Design -  Konstfack 2009 (SE))
