Jewellery designers display their works in former Prostitution Establishments

The City of Amsterdam, Ymere and Droog Design present Redlight Design Amsterdam:
A project connecting the work of six international top-jewellery designers with
the Redlight area of Amsterdam.

The participating designers, although working independently, share the same conceptual approach towards contemporary jewellery in a way that jewellery is not simply restricted to its role of body adornment but provides an artistic statement. These designers are not classical jewellers rather their work questions wether it is art or design.

Since September 2008 the designers have the possibility to live and work in houses that were formerly used for prostitution. Passing visitors can admire their latest works in extraordinary window displays and have a glimpse into the ateliers behind.

This site goes live in week 39. Press can download hi-res images here.
