ABOUT

LEA HIRALAL IS A RECENT GRADUATE OF A JEWELLERY DESIGN BA AT CENTRAL ST MARTINS, IN LONDON. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN INTEREST IN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING AND CREATING, BUT IN A BROADER SENSE. THROUGH HER DEGREE, SHE HAS EXPERIENCE FROM MAKING TRADITIONAL BENCH WORK, TO MORE CONCEPTUAL PIECES. THIS ALLOWED HER TO UNDERSTAND THE IDEA OF MATERIALITY AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING. 

THESE CONCEPTS LED HER TO CREATE A REUSABLE, RECYCLED AND BIODEGRADABLE CONSCIOUS COLLECTION, AS A FINAL PROJECT. 

SHE WANTED TO UNDERSTAND AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE AND DESIGNS THAT NATURE CAN TEACH US, AND CREATE MATERIALS THAT ARE SUSTAINABLE, YET USEFUL FOR US; ANIMALS, NATURE AND HUMANS.
