Design, tradition, craftsmanship
AVA finds inspiration in tradition and craftsmanship. Identity, home, permanence. But settled in the past. Together with partners, she finds contemporary interpretations that breathe new life into whats proven to be good.
She creates unique items that unite history and present.
The idea of reclaiming heritage originates from a golden piece of jewellery, worn by proud men in the Swiss region of Appenzell. It's a symbol of belonging, festivity but also of death. It's part of men's traditional costume worn for special occasions. It combines a typical workpiece with the snake that bites its tail and stands for the circle of life itself.
AVA took her hat off and designed two precious version for women. Not more beautiful but particular. May they leave their own marks and live as long as its model.
