New Stone

The realm of plastics entered our reality with impetus only a century ago and to this day almost completely dominated it. This long-lasting material is far too often used only once. ORSKA has developed a concept of reincarnation of a useless object, driven by anxiety about what we will leave behind. Reached for post-industrial plastic and subjected it to experimental treatment. An artistic, jewellery craftsmanship interpretation of plastic has created the collection, at the heart of which is synthetic stone. Black blocks with a rainbow-like shimmer and a texture reminiscent of the crystallization known from natural minerals, has been stamped with a seal, indicating its origin – ‘made by Homo Sapiens’ – and being a reminder that our works are also our responsibility. The planet cannot cope alone with everything that is left of us when we are gone, and it will have particular difficulty with the products that do not come from it. This ORSKA jewel is a proof, that the object of desire can be created even from one of most problematic material on earth.
