PROJECT ❚
Modern Africa Collections Irregular Motif Collections
The collection, which is divided into several
smaller lines, combines African tradition
with innovation. The end result: timeless
pieces reflecting the unique spirit of a
vibrant continent and its people. Inspired
by objects of everyday life, by music,
fashion and culture and by the fascinat-
ing jewelry traditions of their predeces-
sors, the designers have created a col-
lection full of wearable symbolism.
Township Art Collections
The dynamics and the energy that are
unique to an Africa township is some-
thing that only few artists have managed
to capture on canvas. Life is stripped of
all pretence, yet there is an underlying
beauty and harmony that is very rare and
precious in today’s world. The designers
of the “Township Art Collections” have
created small but singular tributes to life
in Africa’s townships.

In ancient Africa, people used rock art
as a form of communication. Shrouded
in mystery and rich in its nuances, these
primeval and often cryptic letters fasci-
nate us until today. The “Irregular Motif
Collections” take their pattern from
African rock art, reflecting man’s age-old
desire to express himself through art.
Like those ancient letters, the pieces of
jewelry are both subtle and complex,
too. <<<
