Collection Concept:

[neutral & tactile]

The colors of the neutral tones are not clear, but they arouse our desire for touch.

It's like soft skin, so it makes me want to touch it once.

The rough texture of the fur seems to be felt, too.

It emphasizes those senses by adding the unique texture of the crochet.

It is jewelry worn over clothes, but it reminds us of the skin and makes us think again about the nature of a human.

[clarity & pleasant movement]

The scattered outline and the dots passing through the shape are all made up of perfect circles. These perfect circular holes are empty spaces, but they become a medium for connecting shapes and spaces. The perfect circle is an artificial and modern concept.

The combination of organic appearance and this modern form is contradictory but well matched. I expressed them in clear colors and movements.
