W29 Showroom announces their represention of Antwerp based jewelry collection, Wouters & Hendrix.
Katrin Wouters and Karen Hendrix are the masterminds behind the collection. The two women began designing together 25 years ago as best friends and are now a firm part of Antwerp’s fashion scene.
Along the way, their mix of refinement and adventure became more and more sophisticated and so did the materials of their craft shifting from copper to sterling silver and semi-precious stones such as onyx, smoky quartz, moonstone, citrine, jade, chrysoprase, mother of pearl. W & H seek out the shapes which best display the characteristics of semi-precious stones to their advantage with drops, flowers, rectangles.
Humour is an endless inspiration in their work resulting in daring and eclectic pieces. Chains, medaillons and pendants reoccur in the different collections with haunting names. This jewelry is a dialogue between ostentation and austerity, between shadow and light.
But be not mistaken, they will continue to embrace the daily mysteries, to travel in their world of ludic discoveries, to fall for this first glance which reveals a whole universe. They will remain, as they say it themselves, completely trapped. W&H are very proud to be able to currently distribute their GOLD collection and to have started a new tale in the world of jewelry.
Katrin & Karin
