Hirotaka.1

Launched in the heart of Soho, New York, Hirotaka is the fine jewelry label with which Japanese designer, Hirotaka Inoue, recounts his delicate oriental imagery through a contemporary and versatile style. The jewelry, designed to be combined according to the wearer's personal taste, features a minimal yet highly recognizable style of abstract organic shapes inspired by nature. «Observing the minute details of insects, birds and intricate orchid petals is an infinite source of inspiration. I tend to interpret them in much more abstract forms and styles. You may not always see the exact original object, but I enjoy conveying the essence of it in a minimal and simple manner.»
