Flora Octopus
The Flora Octopus Brooch fuses contemporary jewelry with embroidered sculpture, presenting a lightweight yet voluminous form inspired by imagined marine life. Instead of conventional metals or stones, it employs recycled threads and organza to create texture, fluidity, and organic movement. The three-dimensional embroidery construction reflects sustainability and innovation, while the vivid interplay of colors transforms thread into a sculptural medium. This brooch serves as both ornament and statement, highlighting artistry and ecological awareness in contemporary jewelry.
Flora Octopus Brooch by Nana Watanabe was featured as a grand illustration of fashion design by the A' Design Award & Competition.
