Gerda Liudvinaviciute, a designer and artist from Kaunas, Lithuania, has been awarded the Silver A' Design Award for her "Eastern Blocks" concrete jewelry collection, inspired by Eastern European panel blockhouses.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gerda Liudvinaviciute, also known as CELSIUS 273, has created a unique collection of wearable architecture with her "Eastern Blocks" concrete jewelry. The collection draws inspiration from the iconic modern community symbol of Eastern European panel blockhouses and aims to challenge peopleâs attitudes towards Soviet heritage. The jewelry serves as an educational, fashionable manifesto about architectural heritage and society.
Using concrete material, Liudvinaviciute has designed necklaces and earrings that are not only wearable but also serve as a representation of a brutalist dystopia. The pieces are light, non-allergenic, and less fragile, making them comfortable and practical for everyday wear. The collection provides a new perspective on the Soviet architectural heritage and uniqueness in a global context.
Liudvinaviciute's "Eastern Blocks" collection is a testament to her exploration of the relationship between humans and architecture. The jewelry is a thought-provoking reflection on the illusions of individuality within the context of Eastern European society and its architectural heritage.
