kayo saito
Kayo Saito’s work is influenced by plants and organic forms, whose apparent fragility, structure and vital energy always arouse her creativity and fulfil her aesthetic sense. Through carefully chosen materials and designs, Saito creates unusual delicateness and sculptural forms in the shape of precious jewelry. In her workshop in Margate, UK, all pieces are crafted by hand, making each work a unique ode to nature. “I really cherish the little wonders that nature throws our way. It could be tender young leaves sprouting, the scent of opening buds, or decaying leaves curling up. I design and make jewelry to reconnect us to nature.”
Born in Yokohama, Japan, Saito studied craft design and metal work at the Japanese Art College in Tokyo. She finished her studies, earning her master’s from the Royal College of Art in 2001. She has won several jewelry prizes and was shortlisted for the UK’s Art Foundation Awards in 2010. Her work has been presented in many European high-end galleries and art fairs. Some of her works are also found in collections, such as the Worshipful at Goldsmiths’ Company.
