Inspired by the colours and shapes of a moss garden, Moss is Dinosaur Designs’ latest collection of jewellery and homewares. Designed by Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy, the collection sees Dinosaur Designs return to its central theme of nature, creating a range of handmade objects evocative of and deeply connected to the natural world.
With resin at the core of Dinosaur Designs' DNA, Moss embraces the medium to playfully explore the bold forms and delicate patterns of these extraordinary, ancient plants. In an earthy palette consisting of two new greens - Olive and Moss – accentuated by neutrals of Black Marble, Light Horn and Chalk Swirl, its pigments are cast in soft swirls that mimic the mottled textures of moss. The collection’s proportions and shapes further evoke the feeling of being in a moss garden, with organic vases, legged bowls and stacked bangles presenting bold silhouettes against the more delicate moments captured in its beaded hoops and wired jewellery.
The Moss campaign, photographed by Lauren Bamford and styled by Heleena Trahanas, features beautiful visuals that embrace the collection’s gentle palette and nature-inspired shapes. In a collaboration with florist Benjamin Avery of The Colourblind Florist, the homewares and jewellery are set amongst a dreamy garden of Avery’s familiar moss sculptures and unique florals, accentuating their beautiful, organic forms.
The Moss collection launches on 11 July in all Dinosaur Designs store across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, New York, London and online.
