DESIGN NAME: Z R
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Collection
INSPIRATION: The real, authentic, vintage key is our iconic symbol. The door that key used to open is probably long gone but it remains as an artefact of this collection well protected under the comfort of the soft black leather and is assigned a new role. Does it symbolise wisdom and the power to lock and unlock new doors and new worlds? Does it keep secrets of ambiguity? Much of what exists under it often remains concealed, unnoticed, somehow hidden, and yet with its own significance and purpose.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Hidden Collection is made by hand out of high quality black Italian leather. Each item is unique, what unifies them is the bona fide vintage key inside. The focus of the collection is adaptability and multifunctionality, they can be worn in different ways thus totally changing the perception. These items are versatile not only in terms of function, most of them are also unisex. The integrity of the form and leather was to be preserved intact so all the locks remain hidden inside magnets.
