BRAND STATEMENT
Formed Between is shaped by the quiet exchange between heritage and the present.
Our pieces emerge through slow, deliberate handwork, allowing cultural memory, material behaviour and modern proportion to settle into a single form.
Each object carries the trace of the hand and the continuity of the traditions that inform it.
We create in measured rhythms, letting silver become what it naturally seeks to be, a form shaped between time, craft and the lived experience of today.
OUR STORY
Formed Between is grounded in the study of structure. Our work draws from the long-standing traditions of Chinese visual culture and from silverworking methods refined over generations within Miao communities, one of the ethnic groups within China known for their precise hand-shaped techniques. These traditions offer a framework for understanding how form develops through time, intention and the quiet work of the hand.
The visual references we work with originate in motifs carried across generations, including architectural lines, balanced geometries and measured patterns that appear in textiles, metalwork and ceremonial objects. Rather than replicating these motifs, we examine the structures and intentions that guide them. This approach allows each reference to settle naturally into a contemporary context while retaining the clarity of its origin.
Handmaking remains central to our process. Techniques shaped through long-practised silverwork inform how the metal is formed and adjusted. Working exclusively with high-purity 990 silver, we produce in small quantities and allow each piece to develop through a measured, incremental process. Form emerges gradually, shaped by careful judgment rather than repetition or industrial uniformity.
Our work is guided by the belief that traditions continue through reinterpretation. When ideas refined over time are carried into the present, they remain part of a living culture, not through preservation alone but through the quiet continuity between past and contemporary practice. Formed Between exists within this space, where inherited structures offer direction and modern life refines expression.
