The interstellar appeal of Beijing brand Mistova
Beijing-based Danyi Zhu may have only launched Mistova in 2013, but her jewellery label has an infinity-and-beyond appeal. From Supernova’s to the Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky, protons to particles, the properties of deep space inform her brand's sculptural and fluid designs. ‘The building blocks that make up the universe, earth and ocean inspire me’ says Zhu. Here we discover the elements of Mistova’s design identity in more detail.
'The collections embrace an extensive understanding of metal craftsmanship, engineering and perfecting the process of creating hollow jewellery, a Mistova signature.' – Danyi Zhu
