Project title: Negro Musgo, jewelry and accesories.
Project details:
Negro Musgo is a project of urban jewelry and accessories made from bike inner tubes waste.
The main idea of Negro Musgo is not only using recyclable materials but also innovating the technique; new products are generated by using a geometric pattern that is repeated and assembled.
Negro Musgo is inspired by traditional artisan techniques found in Mexican designs and culture which seek for textures, contrasts, natural patterns and geometric shapes.
These patterns, which can be infinite in their geometry, result in much more friendly textures and designs, which connect people and the environment.
