Collection
Tramuntana
Bits
Madjoi presents a jewelry collection based on natural materials.
Mainly inspired by the use of plants: vegetal fibers and resins.
Madjoi
is presented with a
series of unique
Rings
that is part of the
Tramuntana Bits
Collection. A broader collection that will soon include earrings, bracelets, pendants and chokers, and that is inspired and made only with natural materials, mainly vegetables, wild plants
collected in Mallorca.
Tramuntana Bits
is a firm commitment to more sustainable and local jewelry, as linked to aesthetics as it is to ethics.
Plant fibers have proven their
hardness
and
durability
and
replace noble metals, and the
tears of resins from
fruit trees
replace precious or semi-precious stones and are also used to lacquer jewelry.
The identification and collection of the plants was carried out in the
Sierra de Tramuntana, on the
island of Mallorca, and was documented in a small ethnobotanical study.
The raw materials obtained were processed and transformed into sustainable materials that give the jewelry a unique beauty and a symbolism that we relate to the environment and its preservation.
To make jewelry, traditional goldsmithing techniques are applied, but also own techniques that
Madjoi
has developed. The rings are finished with 10 layers of shellac from plum, lemon and wild pine trees, adapting the Japanese
Urushi technique
Collection
Matter, Physics
and Chemistry
It all started with this collection.
It was the result of artistic recycling of soda cans.
Madjoi
has a memory, an origin. To know it, you have to go back to the first contemporary jewelry collection, based on recycling, by its designer
Marc Diaz.
A collection that, under the title
Matter, Physics and Chemistry, was presented in Barcelona in 2008. The collection was selected for the international competition
Enjoia't organized in Barcelona by Orfebres
FAD, and to participate in the exhibition
The Lab -New Designers Europeans-, at the
Orhopa
Fair
in
Paris.
Matter, Physics and Chemistry was based on the recycling of soda cans, on the use of their metals but also their shapes.
Marc Diaz designed this collection in
Brazil, between
Salvador de Bahía and the island of
Itaparica, sensitized by the serious situation of abandonment suffered by boys and girls who live alone on the streets and survive day after day by collecting soda cans from the ground, for then sell its by weight in the scrapyards.
Marc Diaz identified the collection with this message of denunciation and with it participated in
artistic recicled festivals such as
Rehogar, organized by
Makeatuvida (Valencia),
Drap Art (Barcelona), or the
Night of Art in
Palma de Mallorca.
The collection was distributed and marketed in jewelry stores in Barcelona, Tarragona, Palma de Mallorca and Valencia.
