When Jewellery meets Gastronomy.
A collaborative design project with @maisonzero commissioned by @lvmh for the @iucn_congress ‘One Nature, One Future’, 3-11th of September 2021 in Marseille, France.
The Jewellery industry often causes damage, such as land and natural resource degradation by the pollutants released into soils during the extraction of gemstone. To answer this issue and to help restoring biodiversity, this project is based on a restorative and regenerative system thinking to design a new type of sustainable jewellery design. By promoting a bio-circular economy system, the aim of this research is to take benefits of non-edible food waste by upcyling them, while acting for the resilience of natural environments. In this way, the proposed modular jewellery is also biodegradable, recyclable and can be reassembled as a multitude of designs before its biodegradation. Designing with local and seasonal waste then allows to propose an unique jewellery with a natural color-range and a strong identity, according to the period and the place where it is manufactured.
