We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: The main idea of this earring was to describe to pathway with different materials in which each one evolved into another.
: I've designed a jewelry using completely different materials, each representing another level of metamorphosis. During the design process I was anxious about its aesthetic look and easy to use form.
: I would like to design jewelry that tells people a story, it's not only a jewelry but it's something more when it has a story. With this award winning design I'd like to intoduce Stelart (storytellingart) jewelry into the taste of people with lots of stories along with the jewelry.
: It took about two months.
: Metamorphosis takes place in life but we can not follow the whole process since it is a matter of time. We can just see the seperate metamophic forms as it is in the life cycle of a butterfly. When you look to a butterfly, you can not easily imagine it was once a caterpiller. Many mythological stories are also based on metamorphic transformations. So the idea of changing materials in a jewerly form attracted me.
: I intend to produce and sell my work by myself under my brand name Stelart Jewelry
: To gather different kinds of materials in the same object in the form of a jewelry made me design this particular type of work
: Not for this particular design
: Women who have style and likes to wear extraordinary designs, and who are interested in jewelry that has a story.
: This earring is desinged as an earcuff in which different materials are used to form the concept. It is easy to wear and is distinct with its original story.
: Metamorphosis may be defined as the ability to change shape or form.
: I used mostly saw cutting, silversmithing, polishing techniques to build up this earring.
: The most unique aspect of the design is the harmony of the concept with the form and materials of the jewelry.
: I've both designed and made the jewelry by myself.
: This is a handmade jewelry so I didn't use any technology.
: I read about the different aspects of my concept including mythological stories and the 'Metamophosis' written by Kafka.
: It was hard to decide which substances to choose and how to relate them in order to built a metamorphic pathway.
: I liked to my concept jewelry to meet people by such an international design competition
: During the design process I have learned how to overcome the challenges and how to give birth to a concept in the form of a jewelry.
: Thank you very much
