Museum project
Tate Modern
A jewellery collection created for Tate Modern’s Hilma af Klint & Piet Mondrian: Forms of Life exhibition, translating colour, rhythm and abstract form into wearable museum shop pieces.
Project type: Exhibition-inspired jewellery collection
Created for: Tate Modern museum shop retail
Location: London, UK
Focus: Colour, abstraction, rhythm and wearable interpretation
The story behind the project
For Tate, explain that the project was inspired by the visual dialogue between Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian: colour, geometry, rhythm, abstraction and spiritual forms.
How we translated it into product
We translated the exhibition’s language of colour, rhythm and abstraction into jewellery through shape, scale and composition.
Instead of reproducing artworks directly, we created wearable pieces that carried the feeling of the exhibition in a subtle, expressive and collectible way.
The final collection
The collection included a selection of jewellery pieces inspired by abstract forms, circular movement, geometry and colour.
Each design offered visitors a different way to connect with Forms of Life, creating a range that felt varied, giftable and closely linked to the exhibition.
Created for cultural retail
The pieces were designed to work beautifully in a museum shop context: meaningful, wearable, easy to gift and directly connected to the exhibition.
They gave visitors a tangible way to remember the experience and take part of its visual world home.
