A love for the unappreciated ...
A love for the unappreciated is what inspired us to create a jewellery collection based on the simple, geometric blocks frequently incorporated in Brutalist architecture. One of our favourite examples of Brutalist architecture is the Grade II listed buildings that form the Barbican Estate. These somewhat simple structures have been granted such a prestigious status due to its scale, cohesion and the ambition of the project. Our balconies collection is inspired by the upward ‘flicks’ on the Barbican’s tower blocks. Whilst designing these pieces we particularly referenced this picture of Lauredale Tower taken by our very own @ellenthomasdesign. Why not take the Barbican tour for yourself and see what inspiration you can draw from the minimal forms that surround you during your visit?
