GULF: When the abyss becomes the social standard
Collection: GULF (Main Collection)
“GULF” is the consistent translation of existential angst onto the social collective. It is the visualization of a world on the edge of the abyss – a space between total stagnation and rapid decay.
- Systematics:70 pieces, divided into 8 fundamental Main Pieces, 6 exclusive jewelry editions, and 52 radical one-of-one pieces.
- Jewelry Fusion:In collaboration with kittiicreations6 handmade chains were developed.
- Thematic Focus:While previous collections illuminated the internal struggle, GULF analyzes the social isolation and cold distance of a modern society.
- Materiality:Extreme fabric weights (up to 500gsm) and industrial finishing techniques at 414 Studio Berlin define the armor-like character of the collection.
The “Gulf” describes not just a chasm, but an insurmountable distance. In this collection, luxury elements like gold-plated silver merge with the rough industrial look of the street. It is the uniform for a time in which chaos has been elevated to a system.
Each of the 52 one-of-one pieces is a handmade fragment of this narrative. The GULF collection is my most complex statement to date: a manifesto of fabric and metal that dissects and reassembles the status quo of our society at 414 Studio.
