Drawing inspiration from nature, Natsuko Mizushima, a Japanese designer based in Berlin, creates jewelry and objects from natural materials, incorporating silver. Her work highlights the beauty of the natural world by observing, collecting, and processing materials to reveal their unique properties.
Living Spoon and Mirror
The spoon and mirror are crafted to resemble living organisms. The spoon's tip is made from beech wood with natural fungal growth. The mirror represents a swamp, with the hand mirror depicting creatures growing from oak wood, as if it had been submerged in a swamp for years.
l'ĂŽle - Rings and Bracelets
Each design in this collection is a unique reflection of nature’s elegance, crafted to mimic the delicate form of water droplets or the soft curve of fallen leaves. These pieces embody the fleeting beauty found in the natural world, offering a sense of connection to the earth's subtle rhythms. They can be layered together, creating a symphony of organic shapes that dance across the skin, each piece telling its own story of grace and fluidity.
Founding Pieces
This jewelry collection is carefully made from natural materials found in the wild, each piece highlighting the unique qualities of the materials. The earrings often look as if small plant is sprouting from the ear, bringing a bit of nature to the wearer. The rings resemble withered branches, but with delicate flowers appearing to grow from them, as if they’re still alive and flourishing. These pieces aren’t just jewelry—they’re a tribute to the enduring beauty of nature, captured in sterling silver and branches.
