Illusions of Lightness

“At the most basic level we create products using precious metals that are meant to last lifetimes - they grow with you as you tarnish and wear down these once-pristine items, and while we haven’t aged to that point yet, we hope they will carry your story onwards as you pass these relics onto your loved ones.”
 
Shining a new light on leather aesthetics, functionality and longevity.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

BONNE

After having worked as a stylist from a young age, Bonne Reijn (Amsterdam, 1990) noticed something missing in the variety of clothing available to us. He felt compelled to create something that would be oblivious to any occasion, sex, age, or social expectation, something that would be a key piece in anyone’s life and wardrobe, suitable for informal and formal occasions. The unisex suit, usually made out of 100% cotton, has an inclusive nature and is a true rebellion against the current fashion stream.
 
Following his participation to our HOT-SHOP event, we invited Bonne to join our Artist in Residency program to develop a leather version of his iconic suit.

Amsterdam based artist Nicholas Riis creates sculptural, well designed objects. In a counter reaction to the explosiveness and categorization of social media, his artful objects reject the general perception of art.
