TREASURY OF NATURE

It’s like a treasury found in a beautiful coral reef, with red, blue and green tones. Seahorses are dancing in the sea and some parrots flying around. The silence and beauty of nature returns.

When looking at home accessoires this season we see the influence of animals. We see stuffed animals such as colorful birds. Deer heads on walls, real or imitated by other materials such as glass. What we noticed many are the butterflies and green beetles that are framed. Caught behind glass their colors stand out. An interior company that takes us into the animal world, but also back in the time of the VOC is “Ateliers c&s Davoy”. It is striking that they use a lot of black, gold and glass in their collection. All products are inspired by earlier findings that have been replicated. For these counterfeit products are no real animals used. Their collection is like an ancient treasury with great value.

A fashion accessory line that fits the style of Ateliers c&s Davoy is the in Amsterdam based jewelry designer Christel ball. She is like a pirate on the seven seas and is inspired by nature. In the jewelry line we see colorful butterflies, dead flowers, and seahorses behind glass used in chain or ring. It is like hanging a treasury around your neck. The animals which are used in the jewelry are all died naturally.

I think these two designers let us realize that we are not in need of modern products. They let us honor the nature again. And taking us back in times where all products had stories. In the future there might be an increasing demand for designers like these. Because consumers are inundated with modern products. So there is an emerging need for products with a real story. We desire to get down to earth and that starts with influences of our nature.
