I get really excited when two talents with different aesthetics collaborate on a project. Minds meet, stars align. Boom! Jessica McCormack designs heirloom jewellery that is as classic as it is edgy. The Haas bothers create otherworldly sculptures –– think colourful beasts and sea monsters –– that double as furniture. McCormack, and artists twins, Simon and Nikolai Haas have created a line of jewellery and jewellery boxes that reflects their respective originality, whimsy, sense of humour and play. “Collaborating is fun because you just learn so much,” says Simon Haas. “That’s the exciting part for me, that you get to enter somebody else’s world.” The creative process was very organic. “Once we got started it was like a runaway freight train,” says McCormack. Together, they created bejewelled sculptures –– colour glazed ceramic, whacky textures, and brilliant diamonds –– that are adorable and bizarre. And jewellery boxes –– lined with elephants, cacti and jellyfish trees –– that aren’t your typical heirloom. “We’ve created beautiful things that bring a lot of joy,” says McCormack.
