| DESIGN NAME: FiFi PRIMARY FUNCTION: Multifunctional Dog Collar INSPIRATION: I have for many years been making necklaces for dogs, and it makes me so happy to see how comfortable most dogs are in a necklace. I have also been making dog collars. It has always bothered me that the collar has to come off when the necklace goes on. Most dog owners like to keep the collar on, always. With this design, a detachable necklace, the owner can adorn their dog when they wish. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is not only a Dog Collar, it is a Dog Collar with a detachable necklace. Frida is using a very nice quality leather with solid brass buckle, D ring and two smaller D rings rivets with a swivel head. When designing this piece she had to consider a simple secure way of attaching the necklace while the dog is wearing the collar. The collar also had to have a luxurious feel without the necklace. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The dog is able to wear his collar at all times. When the time comes for a special occasion the owner can easily attach the necklace on the collar. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The initial idea for this project started in March 2016, the finished product was completed by 27th of September 2018. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: I am using a very nice quality leather with solid brass buckle, D ring and two smaller D rings rivets with a swivel head. The necklace is attached with to the collar with a toggle bar in brass that is connected to a solid copper chain. From the chain hangs solid brass beads, turquoise, aventurine, chrysocolla, garnet, glass beads and swarovski. When designing this piece I had to consider a simple secure way of attaching the necklace while the dog is wearing the collar. The collar also had to have a luxurious feel without the necklace. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The collar Length 390mm Width 25mm Necklace Length 230mm Width 140mm TAGS: dogcollar, leathercollar, solid brass buckle, dognecklace, dog jewellery, dog jewelry, semiprecious stones RESEARCH ABSTRACT: From having created both necklaces and collars for dogs since 2007, I have had many discussions over the years about quality and preferences, with the people who know best, the dog owners. CHALLENGE: What I had to think about in this project was creating a high quality dog collar that looks good on its own. Then a necklace that was easy for the dog owner to attach, and sat on securely while the dog moves around.

NAME: K9 collarcouture by FRIDA HULTEN PROFILE: Every Owner Is Unique - And So Is Their Dog. Born in Sweden, Frida spent two decades on an adventure, a journey spanning many cultures, countries and continents. In London, she discovered an insatiable passion for design. After an interior design course and a short stint in apparel design, she knew by instinct that her heart lay in the world of intricate items. Since then, she applies her passion to crafting jewelry – unique, beckoning, tactile, textural and beautiful – for canines and their admirers. Frida’s love of mystery, of the ancient world and for the life force itself that shows in each piece of her hand-made jewellery. Curious and open, she learns from each new environment she explores, allowing rare insights into a myriad of cultures and bringing an infusion of diverse influences to her work. "Everything we think or say about jewellery applies to our pets – dogs especially. Our dogs go where we go, eat what we eat, see more than we see. They’re part of us, part of our family. Dogs have been part of human life for at least 12,000 years. Their connection to our lives is deep and essential.” Her pieces encompass an ever-growing range of materials including antique trinkets, semiprecious stones, rare beads, leather, copper, brass, antique silver and other unique objects found during her travels through dusty markets. Her work has been featured in photography, charity, comedy, canine, hospitality, commercial, food and fashion arenas. |
