Drawing inspiration from nature, Natsuko Mizushima, a Japanese designer based in Berlin, creates jewelry and objects from natural materials, incorporating silver. Her work highlights the beauty of the natural world by observing, collecting, and processing materials to reveal their unique properties.
Living Objects
The Living Spoons and Mirrors/ These objects are crafted to resemble living organisms. The spoon's tip is made from beech wood, naturally adorned with fungi. The mirror evokes the essence of a swamp, while the hand mirror depicts a creature that appears to have grown from an oak tree, as if it has been immersed in the swamp for years.
Flower & Me/ The hand mirror, shaped like a flower, can be held in the hand as if picking a flower, allowing the user to gaze into the small mirror.
l'eau - Rings and Bracelets
Each design in this collection is a unique reflection of nature’s elegance, crafted to mimic the delicate form of water droplets or the soft curve of fallen leaves. These pieces embody the fleeting beauty found in the natural world, offering a sense of connection to the earth's subtle rhythms. They can be layered together, creating a symphony of organic shapes that dance across the skin, each piece telling its own story of grace and fluidity.
Fragments of Nature
This jewelry collection is carefully made from natural materials found in the wild, each piece highlighting the unique qualities of the materials. The earrings often look as if small plant is sprouting from the ear, bringing a bit of nature to the wearer. The rings resemble withered branches, but with delicate flowers appearing to grow from them, as if they’re still alive and flourishing. These pieces aren’t just jewelry—they’re a tribute to the enduring beauty of nature, captured in sterling silver and branches.
