bloesem’s pink collection

Posted on November 30, 2007 by Danielle| 2 Comments

Are you looking for a beautiful and unique Christmas present? Irene from Bloesem has created a gorgeous collection necklaces made from beads and semi-precious stones. Each necklace in the Pink Collection, ‘Pink’ because they all have one or more roze quartz stones, has a different design and is therefor unique.

The necklace pictured above (‘Number Three’) is my favorite, I just love the colour combination of the various beads! Visit Bloesems’ Etsy store to see all of the 20 beautiful necklaces. They make a perfect Christmas gift!

jewellery designer pia aleborg

Posted on October 30, 2007 by Danielle| 3 Comments

Pia Aleborg is a jewellery designer from Göteborg, Sweden. She makes the most beautiful jewellery that reflects and responds to things that she experiences and sees in her daily life. This can be anything from a vague feeling to something very concrete that becomes the starting point in her work. Pia: “Jewellery is, for me, the ultimate tool for investigating and expressing my thoughts and ideas because of the direct and immediate way it interacts with the body and therefore the personal sphere. Jewellery can be very intimate but also extremely superficial. I find this wide range fascinating and by mixing the two it becomes even more appealing”.

I love the necklaces from the In the Act-collection (featured in the images above) as they are inspired by nature. You can visit Pia’s website to see more of her gorgeous designs.

huh

Another great design from Dutch design label HUH is this ‘Not a Lamp’ light. In stead of a lamp in a box, this box is a lamp (do you get it?). You push out the pre-cut shape and the wire, fitting and lamp are in the box. And voila, you have a lamp!

Also from HUH are these jewellery made from old cookie jars and high quality silver. This way ‘junk’ is transformed to a beautiful piece of jewellery. Check out HUH’s website for more information and to see their other designs.

This SKIRTbag is made from a leather skirt. The pockets, zipper and buttons are still used, but now serve a different function. The bag is created by Tessa Kuyvenhoven. This Dutch designer likes to re-use objects and materials in her design-process. This way new meaning takes shape. Each bag is unique, in color and size. These bags are available at inTussen in a limited edition. Please contact Tessa (tessa@intussen.net) for more information.
