Each piece of jewelry gathers elements that are either found in nature, or creative expressions, turning them into pieces of wearable adornment with heart and soul. With the intention of creating a bridge between people and nature, Raluca translates the uniqueness found in people into jewelry pieces. Making them part of the everyday experience, they become a personal token, a true expression of who we are, and our tie with nature.
Each piece is fully designed and handmade by Raluca Ostasz
The Pachamama collection is an ode to the beauty of the Earth, an invitation to live in harmony with the natural world, and a call to protect the sacredness of this planet we call home.
Pachamama is a Quechua word referring to sacred Mother Earth. It is the Andean fertility goddess who nourishes and protects all earthlings.
Raluca Ostasz believes that every person should feel safe, loved & embraced. Which is why she combined conscious design with quality materials, to create a series of blankets that bring beauty, warmth and comfort. The blankets are made to offer a warm embrace, echoing Mother Earth’s way of embracing us. The large protective hands are holding various landscapes of the Earth, harnessing the energy from various sacred sites around the globe. Rich symbolism is woven into into a piece of artwork.
Each piece is designed by Raluca Ostasz and machine woven on a jacquard loom.
Designed prints and handwoven pieces meant to bring warmth and liven spaces.
Each design has a story of its own, developed with the intention to create a bridge between the classic and contemporary style, to add charm into the physical environment of our modern times.
All prints fully designed and handwoven one at a time by Raluca Ostasz
Wood bench based on a concept from the book "Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield
"We humans have always sought to increase our personal energy in the only manner we have known, by seeking to psychologically steal it from the others - an unconscious competition that underlies all human conflict on the world."
The wood bench is an expression of the flow of energy that happens when two people interact, an energy flow that happens on a subtle level, beyond the physical space. The sunken seats create a harmonious interaction where personal space is preserved.
The chosen material is pine; its two colors stain is significant: even though from he outside we are different, our essence is the same.
