Flora Octopus
The Flora Octopus Brooch fuses contemporary jewelry with embroidered sculpture, presenting a lightweight yet voluminous form inspired by imagined marine life. Instead of conventional metals or stones, it employs recycled threads and organza to create texture, fluidity, and organic movement. The three-dimensional embroidery construction reflects sustainability and innovation, while the vivid interplay of colors transforms thread into a sculptural medium. This brooch serves as both ornament and statement, highlighting artistry and ecological awareness in contemporary jewelry.
Flora Octopus Brooch by Nana Watanabe was identified as an outstanding representation of fashion design by the A' Design Award. Flora Octopus Brooch was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2026. The A' Jewelry Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition which celebrates outstanding design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
