In Japanese, the character for “izumi” (fountain) is a hybrid of the two characters for “white” and “water”.
The artificial pearls produced by HK (calls ‘HAKU’)’s artisans in Izumi are akin to shining crystals emerging from white water.
Being first to master the production of artificial pearls in Japan, Izumi artisans have a long-standing inherited and traditional know-how passed on from generation to generation.
For the exhibition, HK developed “Gravity pearls” in collaboration with designer NOSIGNER.
They are magnetic pearls that attract one another, and transform to ring, necklace, earing, broach,etc.
HK introduce this new and enticing breed of pearls, which can cluster like bubbles.
I love this idea. It is so much fun!
