Nayibe Warchausky :‘Béton Brut’
Brutalism is a movement of honesty. Nothing is covered up or pretends to be what it is not. That intentional lack of decoration and rawness in form and materials inspired the latest collection of Warchausky Design Studio. With a sense of geometric abstraction, a powerful interplay of light and shade, and an unquestioning simplicity, the jewelry pieces remind a brutalist building.
Derived from ‘Béton Brut’ (raw concrete), Brutalist architecture is a style that emerged during the 1950s in the United Kingdom in the reconstruction projects of the post-war era. Associated with Le Corbusier, these buildings are identified by their transparent purpose, rigid geometric style, and large-scale use of poured concrete.
Designer Nayibe Warchausky, a Venezuelan artist with Russian and Lebanese roots, drew inspiration from this movement. From Parque Central to Teatro Teresa Carreño and Ciudad Universitaria, she sought examples of Brutalism in Venezuela. The result is wearable tunnels mathematically deconstructed in different directions and angles.
Every piece of the collection comes in both 24k yellow gold and palladium plated brass. The idea is to add the sculptural pendants to a chain to create unique brutalist combinations.
