Collier gomme et argent, série Hanami
Behind the Uto pieces is a designer with a passion for Japan and its pure forms.
Uto: three letters borrowed from the name of the designer, Ludivine Huteau, and with a deliberately Japanese sound. Passionate about the land of the rising sun, the designer has also designed, for her first collection, a series of pieces directly influenced by Hanami, a Japanese custom that consists of gathering under the cherry trees in the spring to admire the flowers. An inspiration that gives rise to pieces of virginal purity, for which the designer uses gum, a material whose appearance is similar to wood. A tribute to nature, therefore, recalling the fragility of our environment. Fragility that we find in the whole collection, elaborated with a lot of meticulousness and giving off an extreme delicacy. We find the designer’s attachment to Japan in the pieces gathered under the name Cobwebs, with their very sober forms playing on the empty and full, in silver and silk thread.
The Evanescences pieces will exacerbate the sensuality of a piece of skin revealed. The finesse of the materials, the marriage of metal and textile, create subtle plays of light, rhythms, making Uto jewelry pieces both discreet and out of the ordinary. Colored silk, wool and polyester threads are mixed with very fine precious metal chains.
Jewelry all in poetry and light, to be discovered at the next Maison et Objets show which will be held from January 22 to 26 in Villepinte.
