Designer biography:
Stefan Mocanu is an emerging Romanian artist, a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art’s prestigious Silversmithing and Jewellery program. His work uniquely blends traditional making and modern techniques, with a focus on the interaction between light, materials, form, and colour.

Collection concept:
The Hidden Knowledge collection, inspired by the ambitious journey of Voyager I’s “Golden Record,” blends time-honoured craftsmanship with contemporary methods such as complex press forming and laser welding. Crafted from titanium and 3D-printed biodegradable materials, each piece weaves tales of distant realms through light, colour, intricate forms, and compelling patterns. This sculptural segment of the collection moves beyond wearability, presenting non-wearable objects as vessels for cosmic narratives. It invites reflection on humanity’s place in the universe and the deep, unseen connections of life across interstellar space.
