Gaelle Khouri extends Soft Destruction collection

The story behind this latest collection ruminates on the notion that humans are prisoners of their own mind, incapable of attaining the true world. However, this in turn highlights the concept of individuality, which will, when well-grasped and expressed, grant us tolerance and a degree of freedom from the prison of mind. 

The collection is suffused with philosophical narrative. Pieces are comprised of complex compositions of abstract ellipses, representative of the interpretations of the mind, which are in a constant state of motion. The thinking happens in three dimensions - ideas float in the inner empty space of the mind to take on volume, all of which is reflected in the manner in which the pieces are constructed. 
 
Taking cues from the Originators, the 12 new sculptural pieces see circular rings layered and intertwined, much like the synapses of the mind, to form wearable pieces to adorn the ears, neck and fingers. With names taken from Ancient Greek and Latin philosophy, Gaelle seeks to imbue the wearer with a sense of individuality and purpose. 

Gaelle’s pieces are created with the ethos to see in the piece that which she feels. Gaelle’s work has caught the eye of buyers and clients alike, with retailers including Browns London, Talisman Gallery at Harvey Nichols London, Stanley Korshak in Texas, Bibi van der Velden’s Auverture.com and the prestigious Sylvie Saliba in Lebanon. Prices for the Soft Deconstruction collection range from £450 to £7,280.

The talented designer joins a pack of educated and curious female jewellery designers emerging from the Middle East. Khouri designs for the like-minded international woman with an appreciation for beautifully crafted works of art, encompassing tangible meaning and emotion.
