TOBY JONES IS A multidisciplinary DESIGNER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR WITH OVER 15 YEARS EXPERIEnCE WORKING WITH SOME OF AUSTRALIA'S MOST ICONIC EXPORTS IN THE FASHION, MUSIC AND LIFESTYLE INDUSTRIES.

AS A SELF TAUGHT SILVERSMITH AND METAL WORKER JONES ESTABLISHED HIS OWN JEWELlERY label IN 2006 BELIEVING IT WOULD PROVIDE THE PERFECT BRIDGE BETWEEN ART AND FASHION AS IT OFFERS AN EXCITING AND VERSATILE PLATFORM TO EXPRESS IDEAS AND EXHIBIT THEM TO A WIDE AUDIENCE.

REFLECTIVE OF HIS BACKGROUND AS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER AND ART DIRECTOR, DESIGNS COMBINE A BOLD GRAPHIC AESTHETIC WITH A PRECISE MINIMALIST APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION. collections ARE BUILT AROUND A CENTRAL THEME AND CONSISTENTLY RAISE QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE LEGACY OF MODERN MAN. JONES DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM OUR PERCEPTIONS OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS, THE FUTURE AND THE DISPOSABLE NATURE OF MODERN SOCIETY. EACH PIECE AIMS TO REFLECT THE PLAYFUL FUNCTIONALITY AND SELF-CONTAINED AESTHETIC OF EVERYDAY LIFE, WHILE QUESTIONING THE GUESSING GAMES INVOLVED IN PUTTING TOGETHER THE PUZZLING PIECES OF OUR OWN PAST.

WHEN THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT IS LONG FORGOTTEN, WHAT WILL BE LEFT BEHIND FOR THE FUTURE TO REMEMBER ITS PAST.
