NAOKOOGAWA

For me, the creating this jewelry is a kind of “drawing”. On the body, I enjoy to “draw” with some different kinds of materials. The “drawing”s are expressions of my feeling in daily life. The shape is keeping the asymmetrical balance, like my life.

About the Designer

NAOKOOGAWA's picture

Naoko is based in Berlin, Germany. She studied at Tokyo National University of Fine arts and Music. Her collections are produced in Germany.

I restart thinking about the meaning of wearing jewelry and create work based on the idea of deepening mutual relationships among people, clothes, and jewelry.
For my creations, I follow and strongly respect the following ideas:
- Personal physical movement: sitting, standing, working, running, fingers through loose hair, etc...
- Social physical movement: making up, holding hands with your love, kissing, etc...
- Environmental changes people can sense by moving places or in the course of time: wind, light(the sun's rays or electric light), temperature, humidity, etc...
- Emotional changes: pleasure, love, fear, anger, sadness, etc...
By doing so, I create jewelry works with the concept of "a jewelry that cannot become complete unless people put it on". In other words, only those who wear it are able to creat a look or complete beauty.
