Preview of AUTOR 2024
We're excited to announce our participation in the 21st edition of Autor - International Contemporary Jewellery Fair, set to take place on May 18th and 19th at Ghica House in Bucharest. This year, we're proud to showcase the works of four outstanding international designers, spanning a range of styles.
Hailing from Belgium, Anna Rosa Moschouti brings a timeless aesthetic characterized by minimal yet sophisticated designs. Inspired by the intricate golden veins of Kintsugi art—a Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with precious metals—Anna's latest collection is nothing short of breathtaking.
With a heritage that blends Greek and Dutch influences, Anna's multicultural background, coupled with the artistic legacy of her mother, has profoundly shaped her sense of beauty and personal identity.
Living and working in Belgium, she brings a contemporary edge to her designs, seamlessly blending tradition with innovation to create pieces that not only captivate the imagination but also reflect the modern aesthetic preferences of today's jewellery enthusiasts.
Hailing from France, Marion Fillancq emerges as a visionary glass sculptor, distinguished by her pioneering fusion of ancient techniques with contemporary craftsmanship. Trained in glass blowing and decoration at the European Center of Glass Art Searches and Training, Fillancq revolutionizes her field by infusing traditional flintknapping methods, reminiscent of Stone Age arrowhead crafting, into the delicate art of crystal manipulation. Her innovative approach draws inspiration from ancient civilizations, yielding a unique aesthetic that captivates audiences globally.
Fillancq's avant-garde creations, blurring the lines between sculpture and fashion, transcend conventional jewellery paradigms, embodying a fusion of primal allure and contemporary elegance. Continuously showcased in premier exhibitions of contemporary art worldwide, her works adorn galleries, museum shops, and fashion outlets across every continent, cementing her status as a luminary in the realm of artistic innovation.
Designer Maria Psarianou, originating from Greece, particularly Thessaloniki works primarily with pearls, and her designs emanate an everlasting sense of elegance and sophistication. A particularity of her creations is the way she ingeniously transforms the necklace closures into exquisite, state-of-the-art decorative elements. This combination of practicality and spectacle renders each piece entirely unique and captivating.
Regarding rings, I find her to be both imaginative and contemporary. Take a glimpse at her double rings: these designs are not only visually striking but also practical and comfortable to wear.
As for earrings, all of her creations offer a contemporary take on timeless pearl earrings. Some of them are designed in two parts, allowing you to wear them in multiple ways, providing versatility and style.
It was about time to bring you a touch of Dutch sophistication with the exquisite designs of twin sisters Roos and Geertje Eek. With Roos mastering metalwork and Geertje mastering product design, their collaboration gave birth to an innovative jewellery brand proudly crafted in the Netherlands.
What truly captivates me about their designs is their boldness in embracing unconventional methods to craft their jewellery by repurposing massive machines originally designated for furniture and high-tech industries. Each piece tells a story of innovation and sustainability. In fact, many of their designs begin as recycled leftovers from these factories, transformed into stunning works of art through their creative vision.
Max Zara Sterck - a reputable Dutch fashion brand, influenced by the fluidity and grace of the female form, and Tweek Eek's industrial aesthetic, rooted in material exploration and machine-centric design, united their forces, and gave birth to a new Jewelry collection called VES. From this exquisite collaboration, I've selected a statement bracelet and two pairs of earrings in different sizes. I personally prefer the large ones. As this collection is a fusion with a fashion designer, I couldn't resist adding to my selection an oversized belt. I love the modern look of the long stripe elastic band.
