Not Only Decoration
Published: 20.02.2017

Not Only Decoration (NOD) is a platform for art and design projects which focus on social and environmental issues. We are a collective intelligence, a not for profit organisation of individuals and we utilise our skills as jewellers, artists and makers to create meaningful art and design projects. There are many issues that seem to be falling through the cracks of society and these are the topics we choose to communicate through our work, because we have voices and we know how to use them. So essentially, we at NOD, are a growing community of makers from all over the world that create works that we deem to be: not only decoration and we do this to raise awareness of ethical issues through the jewellery field and beyond.
