We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Brazil & Murgel about their original and creative Earrings and Ring design work. Brazil & Murgel is an award-winning fashion designer, that makes our world a better place with their original earrings and ring works.
Brazil & Murgel ("B&M") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Vivit Collection Earrings and Ring. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
B&M : Vivit Collection was inspired by organic forms and behaviours found in nature. The main idea was to create memorable pieces able to arouse curiosity of the beholder by means like animals and humans use to seduce - dancing.
B&M : We hope to take part in different galleries/stores and expositions around the world, to expose the collection as much as we can.
B&M : It took us around six months to design and develop the whole production process. The project presented a lot of challenges in every production steps that required several tests and researches until we finally achieved the best results.
B&M : We design and produce all of our jewels, selling them at our website www.brazil-murgel.com and some physical stores.
B&M : Vivit is a latin word meaning a thing or someone that lives. Vivit Collection has a life of its own - through its fluid and swirling lines it dances, hiding and revealing the inner golden surface, with the intention to intrigue and seduce.
B&M : From roughs we developed 3d models to better study the shapes. Then we created physical models in different materials such as paper and wax before heading to the first tests in metal.
B&M : The leaf-shaped earrings surrounds the earlobes so that it's natural movements creates an interesting dance between the black and gold – hiding and revealing the yellow gold underneath. The sinuosity of the forms and the ergonomic attributes of this collection present a fascinating play of light, shadows, glare and reflections.
B&M : We worked with experienced goldsmiths to get the right curves and shapes, as to develop the movement mechanism of the earrings. The special black plating also required technical skills from a team of engineers and physics specialized in surface engineering.
B&M : It is a way to get more recognition and a larger exposure of our design and brand.
