In the past, a dead rabbit paw was considered a lucky pendant. Yes, true! So, Simone and I thought it would be cool to transfer this idea into solid brass pendants. And we did not limit ourselves to rabbit paws – we also created monkey paws and a cocoon. Simone has a wide network of manufacturers in Beirut, Lebanon, and I could bring my metal working expertise to the project. We experimented with different surface treatments, from gold plated to oxidized copper.
The outcome… key holders and pendants! So heavy that you will never forget your keys – and pendants so bulky, that you can’t stop caressing them.
