Collection concept:

Collection CARPE DIEM (‘'seize the day’' in Latin) is a series of rings - birds. Each bird is designed as a figurative notebook and a beautiful reminder to see the value in every single moment of life as it is so ethereal. It’s an invitation to think about time and how we choose to spend it, about the opportunities we embrace and how they sometimes find us in the most unusual places. The notebook can also be seen as a diary that captures the stories and turns them into precious memories. The collection captures the birds that were observed through the designer's apartment window during the Covid lockdown in 2021.
