RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research was applied and the method of data collection was the library. The main purpose of this study was to make the public more familiar with the works of Pete Mondrian and his utopia - the philosophy and purpose of his works; Because the goal and philosophy of his works was to establish a better world and in fact a utopia. The result of this research, which is the design of jewelry based on his works, can not only remind us of the importance of purposeful works of art; Rather, by balancing, one can reduce the evils of the world and create a more beautiful world for oneself and others.
CHALLENGE: One of the main obstacles for the researcher-designer-lack of easy access (depending on the country of origin) to all the works of this precious artist has been. Also, most of the available resources for research in this field were in English, and therefore it took a long time to be able to prepare a good research and therefore an appropriate design.
