Polygon Hair Claw

Polygon

Polygon is a hair claw designed for everyday hair styling. The shape and placement of the prongs differ from those of a standard hair claw, so more hair can be held. The prong shape and placement are protected by patents in the United States and Japan. The collection is made of aluminium, which lowers the weight compared with earlier metal claws. The lighter body stays in place longer and reduces the discomfort caused by heavy claws. The form was developed with computer-aided design, then made with rubber moulds and casting.

Raices Sustainable Jewelry

Raices

The design of the Raices line emerges from the need to reuse thousands of oval cuts of new leather from a safety boot factory, discarded daily for having no utility. To reuse them, the designer focused on the search for techniques that would allow to find their greatest beauty and functionality, finding inspiration in the wings of birds, the scaled, staggered and overlapping. In order to expand the color palette, it was also decided to reuse leathers from other companies.
