VA S K O L G by Olga Kiwerski

For 24design, VASKOLG by Olga Kiwerski presents a collection of multi-purpose, sculpture-like elegant jewels.

V A S K O L G jewellery are known as high-end jewels, thanks to their three specificities:

THE VOLUME

Extravagant proportions, these body sets have been noticed on fashion shows and exhibitions¦ Beaubourgor 104 arts centers, tel de Crillon, embassies …

THE MODULARITY

Unique, one-of-a-kind and unclassified, these jewels are modular. This brand works on the object in the space and reveals material to volume. The creations can deal with different aspects, be worn on the waist and on the neck, right side or upside down. The piece of jewelry becomes mood, desire, temptation.

THE JEWEL AND ITS FUNCTION

A mystery in a Couture style, Olga gives a function to her jewels. A piece of jewelry can enlighten or spread music, turn into address or be used as a lipstick case

Born inParis, designer Olga Kiwerski is the daughter of an art historian and renowned graphic designer fromPolandand painter who later entered jewelry design for numerous fashion Houses inParis. It is in this world of creation and unique essence of the chicgardenofBagatelleand high-end catwalks, and within a glamorous and unconventional universe that Olga grows. She is intrigued by designers and artists alike – McQueen, Dior and Gaultier – as well as dancers, choreographers and performers of all kinds. They inspire her work forever. Always curious, she travels around the world while studying communication and cultural mediation at La Sorbonne.

It is within these years of formulating, training and developing spiritual awareness that Olga began to realize the potential of her concept: Jewellery Sculptures. And it was within this realization that VA S K O L G was born.

BIJOUX SCULPTURES by VASKOLG

Olga’s designs represent a symbiosis between the body and the accessory. Whether worn on the back or the bust, VA S K O L G jewelry is architectural and rhythmic. Stunning and unique pieces that blur the boundaries between jewelry and art. It creates and perpetuates the codes of new luxury fashion.

All creations are handmade inPariswith pure and distinguished materials, such as silk, soft viscose ribbon, lacquered shell, iron, crimson Orchids textile, cotton, natural Eucalyptus and natural Cotton flowers, leather, feathers, mohair or Peru Alpaca thread, coral pearls and glass.

EWA BATKO

For 24Design, Ewa Batko presents two unique pieces from her jewellery collection

Ewa Batko was born in Warsaw and lives and works in Paris. She is the daughter of a researcher at the Institute of Aviation (aeronautics) and a stage manager in a documentary film studio in Warsaw. The terrace of her room in her family home dominates over the garden where her mother plants thousands of plants, blooming constantly from early Spring to late Autumn. This is where she decided to become a painter, feeling that the artist is always conquered by nature, so all the artist can do is to translate it and transcend it. A leaf, a flower, a fruit, a stream of springing water or a ray of light in its iridescent reflection will always be the most inspiring spectacle for her.
