Resin Bangles by Jessica Kagan Cushman

Inspired by her unique fossilized wooly mammoth ivory bangles, these resin bracelets from Jessica Kagan Cushman feature unique sayings from hit movies and pop culture references. We think they're fun and look great stacked on your wrist. As seen in the NYTimes Style Section. Each production cycle differs slightly, all pieces are hand poured, inked and finished, all variations which enhance the individual piece you purchase.


The must-have bracelet now comes in a new selection of phrases on black resin bangles. Made to mix with the ivory ones in your collection already, they're fun and fabulous. Scrimshaw etching technique on resin bangle- all pieces are hand poured, inked and finished, all variations which enhance the individual piece you purchase.


The newest innovation from Jessica Kagan Cushman are these clear resin bangles with her witty pop culture references etched in a scrimshaw-like technique and inked with vibrant colors. Futuristic and classic, they offer a new spin on making a statement.


Brilliant, juicy colors add an eye-popping jolt to JKC's already incredible classic scrimshaw bangle collection. Saucy new phrases and a new slimmer size allow for more stackability. If you could see how she wears them- every one, of course!, you'd be inspired to do just the same.

Randomized Your Wardrobe

A modular system born to enhance disorder, making it graphically catchy. Very often coming back home or in our room, clothes are abandoned where they are taken off infesting chairs, beds, sofas or anything useful for the purpose of heaping.

WARDROM is an object that invites throwing clothes as if it were a natural and instinctive act; wordrom is a vertical wardrobe for young and/or disorganised people of the new millennium, a modular flat wall accessory, made of semirigid PU macro-pils made to randomly house any type of clothing.








Garbage Pin by Ana Cardim

Garbage Pin is born of a definitely urban concept, the appropriation and reinterpretation of a daily use object: the garbage bin. It is a call to reflect on the current social paradigm that confronts notions such as “waste” and “valuable”, both relative and subjective concepts. It is a call as well for the innumerable problems that derive from a society of consumers; those of environmental and ecologic sort that lead us today to a future break with the current ecosystem. This is a project that originates several pieces. It isn't a unique piece but certainly a production series that prompts work in progress, where the idea of open work is also defended. This way, the pieces only acquire sense when interpreted by the users. The potential users of Garbage Pin are those who inhabit the big cities.
