COLLECTION FOURTEEN

_2023_

Iker’s passion for eyewear and its very close relation with jewelry has sprung up in a new collection where the fine line between the two worlds disappears.

The pieces of jewelry, geometrical brooches designed originally to be purely ornamental, found a perfectly organic path towards having a practical use as eyewear accessory items that are beautiful in every way.

Continuing to expand the brand’s universe beyond jewelry alone, the latest collection introduces these stainless steel and black Corian pieces that incorporate our signature high design into everyday life.

Always keeping in line with the purist vision, concept and quality that characterize Iker Ortiz, each one of them is creative, stylish and dashing.

A jewel and an ingenious accessory, it’s design at its best.

COLLECTION THIRTEEN

_2023_

This collection pays homage to Iker’s father, from whom he learned the art and craft of jewelry.

He owned a workshop located in a traditional Mexican house in Coyoacán, one of Mexico City’s oldest neighborhoods.

The remembrance of its typical colonial architecture, colored walls and a distinctive wrought iron window grill, provided the inspiration for the development of these pieces.

The time they shared in such a special place fittingly materializes in jewels made of stainless steel -sandblasted and with electrostatic paint- comprising a collection that emanates from the river of the designer’s heart.

collection twelve

_ 2020 _

The brand’s signature materials -stainless steel and corian- depart in this collection from their usual geometrical rigidity to play freely with organic shapes evoking the beauty of astral nature, stellar movement and its striking parallel to cellular development and the birth of Life.
Manufactured from a single piece, making use of 3d modeling, sanded and polished by hand, these pieces comprise design, technology and craft in modern jewels that gaze towards the future.

COLLECTION ELEVEN

_ 2019 _

The ultimate collection, a breakthrough for the brand, incorporates color as the central element for the first time. Drawing inspiration from the dutch neoplasticism movement De Stijl, which advocated for pure abstraction and universality, it reduces to the essentials of form. Sandblasted stainless steel pieces contrasting with diverse chromatic combinations of overlapped acrylic in visual compositions simplified to vertical and horizontal, typical of the artistic style that inspires them.

COLLECTION TEN

_ 2018 _

A collection inspired by the tilted shapes and chromatic contrasts of the temples and architecture from Japan. Asymmetrical stainless steel pieces that contrast with black or white color highlighting their geometry, comprise a collection in which the Asian aesthetics world is translated with high purity.

COLLECTION NINE

_ 2017 _

A collection of stainless steel pieces manufactured from two assembled elements resulting in a geometry that is complex and perfect in its finishing. Pieces with great character provide identity to a collection of extraordinary design.

COLLECTION EIGHT

_ 2016 _

Art Déco inspired collection. The industrial concept and ornamental patterns typical of the style are reflected in pieces manufactured with stainless steel and brass, some of them with black rhodium plating. Jewels from this collection are produced from a massif, a solid piece where welding or joins are non-existent, transforming it into an attractive and modern accessory.

COLLECTION SEVEN

_ 2015 _

This collection proposes the creation of geometry from the independent production of different layers. Uneven pieces from diverse geometries that unite in a single jewel of unique and futuristic design. Manufactured in stainless steel, some of them attached by silver rivets, the pieces from this collection are a blunt statement of portable design.

ColLECTION SIX

_ 2013 _

A collection inspired by the shapes and textures of the old charcoal mine in Zollverein, Germany. The steel beams based architecture, the decadence of the industrial complex, the red oxide covering it all with the passing of time, have been translated into pieces of great singularity and rough beauty manufactured in stainless steel with electrostatic paint.

ColLECTION FIVE

_ 2011 _

A collection inspired by the natural aesthetics of the semi-precious stones nestled in the pieces. Materials such as onyx, white jade, marble and quartz become the central characters in a collection where jewels of pure and innovative design highlight their beauty.

ColLECTION FOUR

_ 2009 _

This collection, featuring geometry of square and cube as the main character, offers pieces displaying great strength and personality. Manufactured in corian, stainless steel and silver, the pieces from this collection have become a hallmark of the brand´s identity.

3form collection

_ 2008 _

3form is a translucent resin material. A light-weight alternative to glass, it gorgeously transmits light through its encapsulated color. Shapes from previous collections explore with the color and transparency concept that results from polishing the material. Stylish, eye-catching, modern pieces comprise a collection with the brand´s innovative signature.

Collection three

_ 2007 _

The embedment of corian into round and eccentric stainless steel shapes constitutes the concept of this collection. Pieces are designed to complement each other perfectly and inspire a personal style to be discovered by experimenting with the combination of their different dimensions and materials. Some of them involve precious stones as well.

Collection two

_ 2006 _

This collection takes inspiration from the braille system. The tactile reading and writing system developed from raised dots, is translated here into stainless steel spheres that are integrated with corian to obtain a singular jewel. In some of the pieces, they create words or phrases and in others, the sphere becomes the central element.

Collection one

_ 2005 _

A collection dominated by basic geometric shapes and industrial materials as a resource. Using corian and stainless steel, it experiments with matt and polished finishing of the pieces. It also combines these unconventional materials with precious stones and oxidized silver with striking results.
