Japanese artist Miho Fujita crafts
delicate crochet jewelry inspired by natural wonders. Each
accessory presents Fujita’s interest in nature-based creation and her
penchant for reimagining plants as wearable works of art.
Ranging from elegant drop earrings to bold brooches, Fujita creates a
wide array of one-of-a-kind statement pieces. Similarly, she
finds inspiration in the outdoors, and works predominantly with
nature-inspired designs. Her muses include ample organic objects,
like fragile leaves, clustered sprouts, bunches of mushrooms, and sprigs
of berries. Each piece is either left untouched or is colored with
natural dyes made from plants. This use of natural dyes results in a
collection of beautiful pale pigments and further emphasizes Fujita’s
innate interest in the organic.

furniture, lighting, and jewelry by transforming traditional techniques
and using uncommon materials. Among others, he has developed a new way
of knitting industrial materials to develop lamps from tangles of
extension cords and couches made from woven garden hoses.

inspired by his grandmother’s knitting projects and the homewares his
grandfather handcrafted, created them from leftover and everyday
materials found on the farm. He graduated 2007 from the Hongik
