These typical examples are perfect prototypes to start a conversation about jewelry. Liesbet will guild the people to explore the Chinese archetypes through her workshop. TRIPLE PARAD Book/Publication The publication is a knowledgeable guide to TRIPLE PARADE 2015, with a new concept and a new approach to the content, and remains the ultimate printed platform for jewellery and related subjects. In order to make it so, photographer Thomas Aangeenbrug re-photographed the exhibited jewellery objects with a concept by constructing dimensional layers with space between three transparent glass sheets. Moreover, honorably, invited the truly leading ones in the field from a diverse range of perspectives to contribute to it. Including the recent interview of Gijs Bakker, a world renown designer and the pioneer of Dutch contemporary design who indeed broke the ice of what is so-called jewellery; And a beautiful article contributed by Glenn Adamson who is now directing the Museum of Art and Design (MAD) in New York city, which gives a personal view on Craft Curation; Plus, an interesting article from James Tergau in which he brings an art historian’s perspective to jewellery design.

(Photo by: Thomas Aangeenbrug) Background of TRIPLE PARADE : Central to the concept of TRIPLE PARADE is to set up a diverse dialogue between three, this idea is inspired by the philosophy of Confucius (551BC479BC): “Even when walking in a party of just three, I can always be certain of learning from those I am with. There will be good qualities that I can select for imitation and bad ones that will teach me what requires correction in myself.” Based on this concept, the first edition TRIPLE PARADE 2014 - Dialogue Across Generation on Design was supported by National Creative Industries Fund NL, with a program (travelling exhibition, lectures, workshops) with jewellery designers from three generations in the Netherlands to China, it shown a unique and high quality works, innovated and diversified the focus of design-sector particularly into jewellery.
