Intro
Leyla Taranto is a jewellery designer based in Istanbul, Turkey, with a BA in Sociology. Her interest in jewellery, which began with a childhood fondness for bracelets and necklaces and was later formalised with atelier training, is now a full-time passion and occupation. Through her own brand name and gallery, toz design, Taranto continues to experiment with both traditional and non-traditional materials for jewellery design, including scrap materials.

Statement

To create the Remains collection, I salvaged discarded ornamental scrap wood pieces from the floor of an Istanbul custom frame shop. Without knowing what I would do with them, I took the remains to my studio. Back in the woodshop, I began to experiment with the fragments, and through a series of innovative choices, created one-of-a-kind or limited editions consisting of new forms that reflected my own conceptual, stylistic and structural interpretations of the original scraps.
 
As a designer, I found it gratifying to be able to provide these scraps an unanticipated usefulness and to enable them to recover a wholeness all their own by playing with the juxtaposition of what is precious (wood) and what is not precious (waste).
