Extra Button

The title of this brooch, Extra Button, is somewhat strange, but if you turn the piece over you will see that the basis of this brooch is a white plastic badge with a needle. The idea occurred to her when she was a jewellery student at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, and made her first series of voluminous brooches based on the badge.
After graduating she decided to create a new series in a more professional way: by collaborating with small companies in her native country Thailand she was able to start an industrial production. Thanks to this method she could realize a line of Extra Button brooches produced in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, materials and finishes – from high polished silver and gold to bright plastic colours.
