When it comes to clean cut jewelry Bruxe is a Montreal based company fixed to deliver premium craftsmanship. With a mix of street wear, skate culture and contemporary design, Bruxe has teamed up with Uranium to collaborate on collective pendants which celebrate mid-century design.Bruxe Oli Van Roost says, “The project was launched so that people could express their love for mid century design and specifically the chairs that came out of that era. Chairs which 50 years later continue to be produced, and are the benchmark for a well-designed interior.”
The chair pendants are to commemorate mid 20th century design from roughly 1933-1965. Each vintage chair pendent is to commemorate the revolution of furniture and design production. The collection, Tiny Little Chairs come in gold, silver and bronze chain necklaces that have been launched since January 2010.
You never think something as simple as a chair can revolutionize design. The scoop chair pendant, for example, was a chair that revolutionized furniture design with its inexpensive material and easy mass production for hospitals schools and government buildings. The handmade pendant can come in a 10K gold pendant, priced around $700, $230 silver and $180 for bronze. Constantly overlooked, these vintage chairs shaped not only today’s furniture but the revolution of how design came to develop over the years. Bruxe and his team help us remember the importance of revolution and the secret to fashion - you can take one chair and make it look and feel different, but through its core, it all stays the same.
