I also think that this project is about the sadness of nowadays consuming world and the position and power of worldwide brands (and of course the influence it has on peoples identity). That is probably also the reason why it says: 'an illusion on tour'. So i don't think the pendants are ment as an very serious piece of jewellery, but more as a statement of the designer on the present-day Western commercialism. And as for the comparences with bling bling; it ends by the use of logo's. Different concepts. i agree, that some of you are missing the point.

It's not so much about its design characteristics or originality, it's more about the concept of consumer branding. The majority of people feed into brands and cling to them as if they were pieces of identity. I think the pendants make for an interesting yet sad statement.

Even though they are branded they really seem to represent any particular country. Plus all those companies are so global now that these are also fairly backward looking A combination of different brands logo’s for each country?
