Description
A wearable piece of Bauhaus inspired art.
This brooch is from a one off collection of eight brooches is a collaboration between Beck Prior () and Ange (). Both fanatical about cleverly blending contemporary geometric, abstract shapes with traditional craft skills, these brooches are individual works of art.
It's all about the handmade shapes and textures.
There is a rich and contrasting colour pairing between the Ipe wood - that was once the hatch of a 18th Century ship, and the sharp lines of the birch plywood. There is a extra shape using Maple that was a bowling alley in Weston Super Mare, UK. The wood is finished with such high grade sand paper they feel like smooth, pebbles of glass that have spent a lifetime in the sea. The Sterling silver- certified Ecosilver, (100% recycled) details and fastenings, add flare and contemporary styling that makes them wearable pieces of art. The shapes and textures work in harmony with the reclaimed wood: making the silver shine brighter and the wood grain richer - even the back of each brooch is beautiful!
These simple yet statement brooches are exclusive to Prior Shop. Beck and Ange have created this exclusive collection that references architecture and mirrors the textures, and colours found in each others work.
