Celebrated interior designer Susanne Khan and master chef Sarah Todd joined Zoya’s brand head Amanpreet Ahluwalia at the launch of the Rhapsodie collection inspired by culinary art. This artistic collection by Zoya, from the House of Tata, is characterised by delicate fluid designs and fascinating rare stones. It is inspired by the celebrated techniques of haute cuisine, reimagined into enticing forms of haute joaillerie.
With an abstract interpretation of gourmet techniques such as dripping, brushing, layering, scaling, wrap and roll, pinch and fold, this summery collection redefines the rules of fine jewellery with versatile and wearable pieces, which are perfect for brunches and casual outings.
As a founder of India’s first and most unique design concept store, Charcoal Project, Sussanne’s focus on design and creativity found synergy with Zoya’s own approach to creation of collections; while Sarah, an internationally acclaimed restaurateur and chef, was the perfect match for the event with gourmet plating techniques being the focal point of Rhapsodie.
Sussanne said, “The collection is a rare visual treat. As a designer I appreciate its uniquely sweeping forms, colours and textures. Also, the brilliance of the stones – rutilated quartz, peridots, tiger eyes and briolettes in interesting shapes and forms, make the pieces truly alluring. The use of refined technology and fine detailing have created a distinguished line of contemporary masterpieces that blend graceful femininity with industrial modernity.”
Sarah demonstrated various gourmet techniques that have
inspired the collection to Sussanne and guests present at the
event. Post which, the guests also tried their hand at different
plating techniques. The collection, which is designed for a
quintessential Zoya woman and is an ode to her passion and
creativity, features a stunning variety of chic yard chains, an
array of playful rings and earrings, differentiated bracelets and
exquisite pendants.
Speaking at the event, Sarah said, “I am excited to be at the Zoya collection launch. I admire the creativity and craftsmanship reflected in this stunning collection, Rhapsodie, which translates the rich and diverse techniques of gourmet, into exquisite works of art. It is a creative concept and we have tried to show some of these techniques here today that have inspired the beautiful designs in this collection.”
Amanpreet Ahluwalia, brand head, Zoya, concluded, “Rhapsodie introduces an interesting array of precious stones in fine jewellery, which are not usually seen in India. Meant for a modern, erudite woman who is a connoisseur of art, this collection is a tribute to her love, her passion, her fire and her creativity.”
Zoya’s Rhapsodie collection will be available in Mumbai and Delhi.
