World Upon A Wound Collar

Every new world is built upon a wound.

Designed in collaboration with Noëmi Siegfried. She is a Swiss-Hungarian artist and process designer based in Mexico City and the creator of the Story NOMINO and the El Llamafante Series.

This is the connection between the World Upon A Wound Collar and the story:

The World Upon a Wound Collar carries one of the central symbols from the story of El Llamafante: the wound from which a new world begins. An egg is laid upon the wound, and from it, the world of El Llamafante begins to unfold.

Nomino sets out in search of colors and happiness, only to discover that she cannot find one without facing the other. When she gets hurt, something unexpected happens. From her wound, the world of El Llamafante begins to grow.

The idea is inspired by a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, in which he imagines nothingness itself as a wound, and the world as something created around it to soothe it. 

This thought became part of the heart of El Llamafante: every new world is built upon a wound. What hurts us can become a place from which something entirely new begins.

The collar is handcrafted in Switzerland by CLAER.

WHERE THE STORY BEGINS

A wound is not only something to heal or hide. It can become a beginning. A place for imagination, transformation, and an entirely new world to grow.

“To you, nothingness was like a wound, and you cooled it with the world.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, The Book of Hours
