Jewelry Designer of the Year
Zorya
Treasure conceptual collection
Treasure conceptual collection

For several years, Zorya has become synonymous with original Czech jewellery. The brand was established by Zdeněk Vacek and Daniel Pošta following their long collaboration. They became interested in time and in the problem of putting time and its passing to good use in jewellery- making. For their Virus collection, the theme focused on the time necessary for creating a piece of jewellery, following a two-year research of crystals and crystal-growing methods. Luxury components (pearls, diamonds and precious metals) combined with non-precious materials such as surgical steel and flax ropes are typical of Zorya jewellery. This year, Zorya was nominated for the Czech Grand Design Award for their Poklady conceptual collection presented at Designblok last year, where the designers effortlessly interacted with Designblok visitors who took part in the jewellery-making process.

“A group of quiet people of all ages. Sand between fingers. Deep concentration. Mirroring thoughts. Scissors. Rustling ribbons. Immeasurable space thumping in a fragile shimmer. Infinity.“
