Hello my name is Costas and i am from Cyprus! I love design in all sectors but my favourite sector is fashion.
My first degree was computer science but i knew I was more creative than this. So I did my master on product design. Fortunately or unfortunately designers cannot find a job immediately, they need to work on their portfolio. Therefore, I needed to learn 3D software and make designs for my portfolio. Meanwhile, I started making conceptual recycle jewelleries and accessories from things that were of no use (broken laptop, camera e.t.c.), as I did not have enough money to buy brand new materials. This helped me a lot to try and visualize how I could combine broken parts with other materials to create an attractive and interesting accessory. With the encouragement of my friends, I managed to make a whole collection of them.
As a result, I decided to make Pierre Noir, a brand that will represent my story and my creations. As I mentioned above you will find:
+ recycle accesories and jewelleries
+ a lot pieces with precious and semi-precious stones, as I am in love with stones.
+ silversmith jewellery
+ Generally, new materials and techniques I am learning through my afternoon activities.
*I love recycle so usually use everyday materials that are useless and that helps me to keep my prices low.
Hope you are going to love my creations and I will appreciate your comments (positive and negative).
