Some new pieces I am working on for a small cabinet exhibition at Gaffa. The exhibition opening is on the 21st of April from 7:00pm at 281 Clarence Street, Sydney CBD, NSW 2000. I’ll be there, chatting to people about my recent work, so come down and say hi if you’re in the area :) x

I am having one of those days when nothing seems to go right. Plus, I think I might be coming down with a cold. But I was rather determined to uplift my spirit by making up a recent piece I designed. This one measures 40 x 37 x 3 mm. Hand cut from acrylic with oxidised silver chain.

Also, Guy and I were recently interviewed by the awesome Belle Magazine. Very happy re:that. Now for some Lemsip…

Land of the Clouds

It has been 20 days since I said Tschüs! to Berlin. I am slowly settled back into my new life in the Great Southern Land, with a new studio + plenty of sunshine and lots of familiar faces :) The web shop is now open again, we have standardized all International shipping to €10, and National postage to €6. Shipping time for orders outside Australia is 3 – 10 working days, depending on your location. Please get in touch if you have an urgent order, I am always happy to meet your schedule if I can. Below is a process shot of the silver baby cloud pendant… made of solid sterling silver. Coming to the web shop soon. x

Update: Silver Cloud Pendant, now in webshop!!

In between working on orders + enjoying the sunshine at the lakes with some sneaky glasses of Prosecco, I have been making some new designs. This piece is made of hand-formed brass with tactile sponge set in the center. Measures 55 x 55 x 15 mm on long brass chain. I want to make some different colour variations later.

We had some lovely visitors to our showroom recently. Lina from A Spoon Full of Me (thanks for the blog feature!), Julia from PRYL Design, and Bijoux Miss Tinguette. They are all creative designers / bloggers, best wishes to you all and thanks for visiting our showroom

Final Week!

Last week of July sale, thank you to all who placed an order so far! A few new prototypes are added to the webshop. This one is hand cut / carved on blackened sterling silver chain.

Happy Month of July!

A lot can happen in a month. Guy has been accepted into a PhD degree at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney, and considering I have been away from my home base for almost 5 years, we decided it was time to relocate the studio back to Australia at the end of August. So, we are having a huge relocation sale, reducing up to 30% off most items from my webshop until the 31st of July. I will be putting up some new items including one-off pieces on to my webshop in the next coming week, so grab yourselves a bargain!

In other news, we have been receiving some lovely press here in Europeland! A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by the London based Amelia’s Magazine. Here is a link to the interview. Big thanks for this goes to our wonderful PR girl Saleema from Brocade Agency. And here’s a plug by Alicia from the glossy H Magazine in Spain. Thank you!

Plus a very cool double page spread in Fashion Clash 2010 magazine, which was released in conjunction with the event by the same name in Maastricht, Netherlands. (June 4th -6th) Thanks for this goes to the curator Matylda Krzykowski, I heard that the event was a mega-success!

Berlin showroom: now open!

kyoko — Sun, 30 May 2010 22:03:26 +0000

Our concept studio / showroom We Are All Made of Stuff opened earlier this month. The space was designed and created over the past 4 weeks by myself, Guy, and Christoph Hager of Berlin Süd. There were many discussions, even arguments, between the three of us; punctuated by numerous cups of tea and expressions of agreement. It was a rewarding experience and I am very proud of the final result. Here are some pictures taken by the talented photographer Claudia Frickemeier.

The thread curtain which loosely divides the room suspends adjustable platforms. This creates a separation of space; a place to display the jewellery: for visitors, and a place to work: for us. The division is quite tangible as visitors do not feel like they are intruding on our work space. The curtain is very light and delicate, it is also possible to pass through it at many points, or even remove the platforms and tie back the curtain, to open the space for parties and events.

Here is a list of designers we show:

From Australia, Guy Keulemans, Make Believe, Anneliese Hauptstein + myself.
Berlin designers: Susanne Schmitt, Klein Corpse, A&Re and Puncture.

We are open for the next few months, please come visit us if you’re in Berlin this summer. We Are All Made of Stuff is located on Friedelstrasse 11, in the Reuterkiz district, Neukolln, Berlin.
