We usually associate jewelry with gold, precious stones, diamonds, luxury and something we desire. Icelandic designer Ágústa Sveinsdóttir discovered the value of jewelry in the worthless and unwanted material that constantly surrounds us, and from it created a jewelry collection with a name that says it all. Dust.
Product design students at the Icelandic Academy of Arts are due for a final assignment Spiritualism, craft and waste realized projects on the subject of handicrafts and waste, in which they questioned the value of the designed product and looked for ways to reshape the broken.
Designer Ágústa Sveinsdóttir she was looking for the right material that she could transform in a new way. She discovered the potential in dust: the most unwanted malaise, which (unfortunately) surrounds us all the time and is constantly being created, she transformed it with a special process into modern jewelry, combined in to the Dust collection. The look of the collection was inspired by abandoned farms, where it also collected dust.
A completely worthless and overlooked material thus became jewelry, an eternal object of desire. Even if at the end of the day it will be just another object that will gather dust.
