Brand new at EIGHT: MAKSYMADE
Some brands arrive quietly.
Others arrive with weight.
MAKSYMADE enters TFH not as a seasonal drop, but as a sculptural presence — one that sits somewhere between jewellery, object, and body memory.
Trained in classic silversmithing and goldsmithing, the designer behind MAKSYMADE developed his practice through a rigorous, almost monastic relationship with craft. Beginning at the University of Brighton, and later refining his skills at Bishopsland Educational Trust in the UK, his journey continued into professional silversmithing in Switzerland — one of the last places where hands-on workshop practice still defines the industry.
This foundation matters. You feel it immediately.
The pieces are not decorative in the traditional sense. They are sculptural, often asymmetrical, informed by organic forms and a deep sensitivity to material tension. Jewellery here behaves like a fragment of a larger body — something once monumental, now distilled.
Inspiration comes less from trends and more from art history and physical matter. Nature, yes — but also sculpture, symbolism, and artists whose work carries metaphysical weight. References range from Alexander McQueen’semotional precision to the monumental textile forms of Magdalena Abakanowicz, whose influence is visible in the silhouettes and textures of MAKSYMADE’s work.
There is a quiet intensity to these objects.
Nothing is loud. Nothing is accidental.
MAKSYMADE fits naturally into the TFH universe — where fashion is treated as culture, and objects are chosen for their ability to hold meaning over time. These are pieces that do not ask for attention, but reward it.
Now available at TFH.
Not new for the sake of new — but new in the way something timeless suddenly appears.
