DRFT
DAE X NAULA, 2023
DRFT is a collaboration merging the world of Korean artist DAE and New Caledonian designer Naula_studio. They crossed path at the Design Academy Eindhoven, a space that shaped their practice and interests. DAE and Naula explore together futuristic visions where soft and hard matters coexist; where organic and mechanical blend.
DRFT is inspired by the designers’ fascinations for the mechanical world. Inspired by tires and snow chains they merged contrasting materials; fluid silicone from DAE aliens world and sleek metal cages from Naula’s futuristic aesthetics. The collaboration results in a series of unique jewelry pieces: an earcuff, a hair accessory and a bracelet.
