The world that surrounds you and me is beautiful. And it is beautiful to such an extent that almost any thing that comes to hand can be an ornament, the main thing is to correctly arrange and present it. More than once we have come across the fact that designers and artists create precious jewelry and elite costume jewelry, inspired by such items as cameras and their parts, food products, rulers and other measuring instruments. Young American designer Kiel Mead - one of them. only hand tools, fishhooks and other similar trifles inspire him. Kyle Mead graduated from the College of Art and Design a few years ago and was a talented, up-and-coming student. During his studies, he already became famous thanks to some developments of designer furniture, but after graduating from college he became interested in working on designer jewelry. At one time, he discovered that our attitude to the objects that surround us can dramatically change depending on the point of view from which to look at them. You and I see, for example, a plate, and the Papuans see a decoration. But our society is not capable of accepting such jewelry, which means that we need to make a small plate of gold and hang it on a chain. Then both consciously and subconsciously a person, and with him - and society, will perceive the decoration favorably.
Kyle Mead's collection of amazing jewelry contains not only buttons, camera figurines, original gold and silver screwdrivers, drills, sleeves and fish hooks that are already familiar to us. The designer also creates unimaginably shocking jewelry, which only a completely reckless person will agree to purchase. Among them - brackets for aligning teeth, chewed gum in silver and gold, single matches - whole and half-burnt, "dogs" from the "zipper" and many other items. Even a golden slingshot as a creative belt buckle.
In addition to jewelry, Kyle Mead is also the author of unusual designer furniture. You can see all this on his website.
