Special Edition General Assembly Brooch - RE02

Drawing inspiration from the philosophy of serial production demonstrated in the work of craftspeople such as Melbourne contemporary jeweller, Susan Cohn, and German master goldsmith, Friedrich Dau, Studio Hacienda have produced interchangeable components of varying colour, texture, form and material that are laid out in a "production line" ready pick'n'mix. Architectural details and signage found around Melbourne's CBD were starting points from which each design evolved. 

Edition number RE02.

Materials: Aluminium, titanium, glass, stainless steel

Dimensions: 8 cm (h) x 2.8 cm (w) x 0.5 (d)

General Assembly exemplifies Porter and Tilden's common ground: working in multiples, exploring the individual impulse to select, combine and adorn, alertness to the ubiquitous street styles that pulse through a city. It is a project that involves people in a lively, intelligent conversation through the object. That's Studio Hacienda. - Merryn Gates
