Paris-based designer Aude Tahon draws from both fashion and textile practice to create jewelry that occupies its own quiet category. The Fougere Necklace is a handmade choker built through maedup, the traditional Korean folk art of knotting, in which the knot itself becomes the ornament. Twisted silk yarns or braided cotton threads are worked into forms that sit close to the neck, casting subtle shadows and leaving as much to empty space as to material.Tahon's work has been described as "timeless textile architecture," a phrase that captures the structural precision beneath the apparent delicacy. Each piece is a direct record of her hands: the sequence of knots, the tension of the thread, the exact point where pattern gives way to void. No two are identical. Handmade using traditional Korean maedup knotting techniques Materials: twisted silk yarn or braided cotton thread Choker silhouette designed to rest gently at the neck Form composed around negative space and shadow as much as thread
