OUR WORLD

COLOUR

Edward believes colours are lyrics and humour in our world. They make us feel and help us to express ourselves. A similar colour but slightly different tone can trigger a new sense of emotion, and matching different colours together releases a new sensation. Our world without colour would be like a soulless movie in auto-play.

Colours are everywhere in our world: in our nature, creativity, or dream. The perception of colour is an immensely personal experience. This most primal and intriguing relationship between humans and colours gives Edward great inspiration.

EMOTION

Powerful drama and emotion grip our hearts, and this is what continuously inspires Edward. Whether that is a heart-wrenching story or a selfless act of kindness, every little story in our lives is a fountain of inspiration.

Edward believes observing, understanding, and empathising are essential skills for a good designer. Embedding a story or a sentiment behind each of his designs is one of Edward’s signatures. He believes this invisible yet meaningful bond between the jewellery and the wear makes each piece of EDXÚ jewellery unique.

 “To feel, dream, and desire is the utmost luxury.”

ARCHITECTURE, ART & NATURE

From Pierre Cardin's Palais Bulles house to Cartier's 1920s Art-Deco bangle, studying and appreciating these masterpieces is an abundance of joy and provides a great source of inspiration for Edward. He reinterprets what he sees and translates these fascinating elements into his designs.

Coral & Seashells by Nature

Edward is constantly inspired by our magnificent nature and arts from different disciplines. From the 1920s’ Art Deco ‘revolution’ to 1940s Modernist paintings, from the late 20th century’s Parametricism architecture to the impactful contemporary arts from Anish Kapoor and Bridget Riley, he believes different types of arts are coherent and connected. For example, in architecture and jewellery, we live in the former while the latter lives on us. A building can accommodate us and keep our physical assets safe, while jewellery carries monetary and sentimental value.
