sharp shapes transforms into wooden sculptured buckles with dramatic effect,
blurring the boundaries between interior design and high fashion.

Eye Of The World Designs
is based on quality and hand finished craftsmanship. Each piece is unique,
designed and hand crafted in house by our design duo Liam Motyer and Hope Von
Joel in Peckham, South London, UK.
Everything that goes into
the presentation and making of the items in handmade. (see picture of Jigsaw presentation below) Susie Bubble of the www.Stylebubble.co.uk describes our process on her
blog "The thing
about Eye of the World's pieces is the finish which is pretty immaculate -
smooth edges, perfectly sanded down and aligned with perspex - they're also
fastidious about presentation creating their own boxes and neoprene soft
covers"

Living etc. quoted
on their blog, “We particularly love their AW11 collection……….
as the wood they’ve used has been reclaimed from a 1950′s
Butterfly cabinet and, quite frankly, we love anything with a geometric
pattern.
The fashion Blogger Susie Bubble raved
about us on her blog "Using a lot of reclaimed wood to create these
structures that I can only describe as waist jewellery"... Susie Bubble www.stylebubble.co.uk.
