Designer's Notebook 1
Each season, I highlight 3 creations that are part of the Honu Essentials.
These pieces reflect a state of mind, a moment that I wanted to capture in metal.
In this Designer's Notebook, I tell you the story of my favorite pieces of the moment.
The Creations that Mark My Fall 2025
1- The Vaihau Pendant No. 2 - Edition September 2025
Numbered Exceptional Piece
Lagon Collection, Naturally.
The seashell is a powerful and universal symbol. Found on every coastline around the world, it is both a witness and a messenger of the sea. In many cultures, it represents protection (its hard shell sheltering the fragile life it contains) but also travel, escape, and connection to the ocean.
For me, he represents an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
Its organic form and natural lines reflect craftsmanship; every detail reflects a gesture.
Vaihau n°2
Precious (like a Refuge)
2- The Alien ring
Brut Collection. Simply.
Like all the pieces in the Brut Collection, it was born from a creative accident. I wanted to melt a piece of silver when the shape of a being from elsewhere was revealed under the flame of my blowtorch.
I then stopped casting because I knew I was onto something special...
This piece will speak to those who love unusual jewelry and to those who "have the ref!": the "Alien" Saga.
Alien
Disturbing (like the Beast)
3- The TeAra necklace
Lagon Collection, Naturally.
I wanted a remarkable piece, of great value, classy and modern at the same time.
Classified by the succession of 3 magnificent Tahitian Pearls in Lagoon colors;
Modern in the sequence of 101 links that make up this contemporary-style chain. It is also a path of life, the Evidence of Destiny, of the path all mapped out.
See you soon for the next Creator’s notebook!
