New Discovery x Ek Thongprasert
Jewellery designer, Noon Passama S. and fashion designer, Ek Thongprasert, moved to Antwerp and set up the Antwerp label which focuses on using innovative materials to create intricately crafted pieces of jewellery. The mischievous duo crafted super-sized traditional strands made from a rainbow of coloured silicon.
Ek Thongprasert’s work focuses on carefully crafted details and unexpected, unusual materials. The result is a re-examination of the notion of value, a study conducted outside the context of glittery and showy. The duo reimagines heirloom silhouettes in candy-colored silicone for an avant-gardist twist on tradition.
With these chunky counterfeits out of juicy pink and jade silicone beads, which are
just as precious as the originals and ten times more colorful, the Antwerp-based jewelry brand proves that innovation and not necessarily precious materials is what makes for modern masterpieces. Quite precious indeed!
The essence of Ek Thongprasert's design philosophy is a strong approach toward the conceptual aspect; each collection is a complex combination of thoughts design elements which comes from deep analysis into a concept. A result is a collection with pure uniqueness and originality. Each of silhouettes in collection is totally individual and different from each other. Each silhouette tell a different message through detail color shape and cutting which together come a whole complete story.
