Art making intertwined with life
Editorial team
Lucia Plevová, a graduate from the study of Product Design of the Tomas Bata University in Zlin, created a collection of jewellery from recycled cable scrap. To do so, she took inspiration from folk costumes and wire craft, transforming stylised parts of folk costumes and embroideries to knitted, net-like surfaces that follow the contour of the figure. In the form of jewellery, they are worn exactly in those places where they had appeared in traditional clothing. In some parts, she removed the insulation of the cables, the partially bare wires epitomising the shine of original material used in jewellery making.
