Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art

Jewelry and accessories designer and Shenkar graduate with hands on experience in jewelry production and development within an atelier environment. My work focuses on materials, form and the relationship between objects and the body. With a background in traditional goldsmithing, wax modeling and model making, I approach accessories through a strong material understanding and a process driven mindset. Through my studio work and graduation project I developed leather and metal accessories while working closely with artisans to translate concepts and design into physical prototypes.

MADE TO BE HELD - BY ADAR NIMNI

Category: Accessories

Competitions: International

Project Statement Made to Be Held explores the relationship between the body and the accessories it wears, blurring the boundaries between bag and jewelry. Each piece is handcrafted from cowhide leather and custom-made brass components, combining traditional leather craftsmanship with metalsmithing techniques. The hand motif appears throughout the collection as both a sculptural and functional element, reflecting the acts of grasping, making and wearing. More than a functional object, the bag becomes an extension of the body, carrying not only personal belongings but also presence and memory. Designed with longevity in mind, each piece celebrates timeless craftsmanship, emotional durability and a lasting connection between the wearer and the object, encouraging a slower and more conscious approach to fashion.
