I couldn't resist to extend the collection...

KUBI paper beads, sand color with a shiny touch , mounted on a duo of tulle fabric, icy brown and gold tobacco

and show you how it looks ...

spring 2010

TOM crispy copper like paper mounted on an extended gold snake chain

the weight of the chain balances the lightness of the flowers so they stay on the side , at the birth of the neck

KUBI cardboard paper, copper like mounted on gold tobacco tulle fabric

Hi paper lovers !

while spring always witnesses an explosion of colors, I decided to work with this irresistible paper that looks like copper.

essential copper. simple. strong. warm.

just a feeling of metal. and still so light.

while the model TOM has a pure line, the model KUBI is contrasted.

I love the blurry effect of the tulle fabric and the very perfect roundness of the paper bead.

the idea is the scarf.

and as a scarf you can style it. you can ajust the lenght, you can wear it tight around the neck or very loose, or you can choose to slide the beads an other way.

be seduced...

...ooo... the last wave of colors

very subtle, almost transparent

this one is like nacre

The DOT is like a second skin necklace.

it's flat, light, delicate

and playful in the same time.

THE MONOCHROME SEASON

THE ONE COLOR. I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S SIMPLE.

IT ALLOWS TO FOCUS ON THE MATERIAL, AND THE SHAPE OF THE NECKLACE.

IT'S A GESTURE ON YOUR OUTFIT.

OR ALMOST INVISIBLE ON A DRESS OR A SWEATER OF THE SAME COLOR TO JUST CONFRONT THE PAPER AND THE FABRIC.

IT ENRICHES THE SILOUHETTE IN A SUBTLE WAY.
