« Snem Yildirim & Didem Yildirim sont deux soeurs, originaires de Turquie et créatrices du Studio Zigzag, installé à Istanbul et à Ankara depuis 2013.
Leur particularité? Tester les matériaux et créer des ponts entre art contemporain et bijouterie, entre tradition et modernité. » (Studio Zigzag interview on lenvers-du-decor)
Studio Zigzag is an Istanbul based contemporary jewelry studio, founded by Snem Yıldırım & Didem Yıldırım in 2013.
« For us, it was a step to go out of the frame of modern times’ enforced life, to flee to the dream world… Once we started to discover the materials, materials recreated us with the designs formed by our dreams. »
« We essentially take inspiration from cultural texture and the geography we live in. We experience the materials and production techniques by blending the contrasts such as the east and the west, the local and the global, the traditional and the modern, the geometric and the organic. »
