Necklace Merging Bodies by Philipp Käfer (DE) consists of a chain of traditional beads, executed in silicone, that literally merges with the wearers' body. While Gina Hsu's (TW) Hear-Ring extends the body as a sort of hearing device enabling to realy listen closely.
Annelies Planteijdt's (NL) design Square becomes a Butterfly makes a strict arrangement of anodized titanium and gold strips transform into a butterfly but only gathering it's complete form when worn on the body.
Iris Nieuwenburg (NL) makes everybody into a spectator with brooch See Me, a random arrangement of silver ready made elements framing the mirror of a doll's house. While Mi-Ah Rödiger (DE) invites to come up-close-and-personal with Furry Thing.
