The birth of a KKLAK

Kakerlake is a German cockroach.
KKLAK (read in phonetic alphabet as 'kakalak) is a necklace or bracelet made of bicycle inner tubes. It is made of one whole piece (no sewing or glueing), and the closure of the necklace is... a bike patch of course!

Machine washable at 30º.

With KKLAK I took part to the Design for Artshop and Bookshop exhibition in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in 2009, Rome.

Check out the 'birth of a KKLAK' video!

MATERIAL: 100% recycled bicycle inner tubes.

Parabolic antenna earrings

MATERIALS: silver 925, river pearls.

Volleyball turns into necklace

Thanks everyone!

Bird-shaped hangers

Sometimes I find objects on the street. Some years ago I found iron bands, probably used for the transportation of constructing materials.
I collected them and handcrafted hangers in the form of birds. They are strong yet flexible, adaptable to the width of any door panel, ideal for hanging clothes and bags in my (at that time) teeny tiny home.

MATERIAL: iron bands.
