What will be jewellery in the future be like? The selection by Aldo Bakker tries to offer an answer to this question, presenting the panoramas and visions of the future through observation of innovative materials and technologies and objects with new content and new uses. It is a visionary look towards new horizons, links between disciplines and influences coming from worlds far removed from that of jewellery. A Voyage to the future stepped in inspiration, brainwaves and ideas.
