Conceptual Design and Sculptural Practice

Lorn Jean explores the intersections of jewellery, garment and object, where material, form and philosophy coalesce. Rooted in a sculptural approach to design, Lorn’s work investigates emotional presence, physical balance and the poetic possibilities of metal and textile.

Originally recognised through integrated garments, such as the Florentine Dress - now held in the National Museum of Scotland - new works continue to emerge through jewellery, sculpture and material experimentation. Pieces present as studies in structural intimacy. The practice engages with ideas of emotional endurance, transformation and symbolic form. Each project reflects a commitment to slow process and an ongoing inquiry into how form holds meaning.

With a background spanning fashion, material innovation and object-making, design is approached as a multidisciplinary development with research, development and commissions the current focus of the studio.

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
