Hoarse, rustic , heavy, but unique jewelry, weathered by time and wind; Tümülü is a backtrace, reubterpretation and reinvention of jewelry.
The workshop of raw jewelry-Tümülü, was born in the Pyrenean Piedmont and revisits ancestral manufacturing techniques to unveil contemporary raw forms.
The subtle and offbeat work of Fred Duvergé is a new exploration of volume, material, and texture.
Amid seemingly archaic techniques, without machines or standardized tools, there is an openness to all kinds of experimentation in order to produce simple and unique forms and textures.
Works are made by hand from tin – one of the first metals discovered around 3500 BC, in the old-fashioned way to renew the genre. The technique can be summarized as a series of experiments based on the primitive method of casting on earth or stone, the idea is to recreate natural phenomena to generate textures less mechanical than by hammering.Â
Any found object, plant or mineral, can be used as raw material or as a tool.
