On Our Radar: Emerging Label Archaea Studios
After working in the tech industry for several years, sculpture and jewelry designer Jessica Shen yearned to create with her hands again, recalling her background in industrial design.
Having previously dabbled in woodworking, Shen opted to work with silver as a means to create in a more accessible, sustainable and flexible way. Her pieces explore shapes evocative of utility, inspired by skeletal forms.
For Archaea, each piece acts as a fossil, or relic—shells, armor and echoes of Shen that have been left behind. They represent moments of resilience and fragility.
We asked Shen what their most important design principle is:
“The most important principle in my design process is experimentation and curiosity. Starting this brand was an experiment in form—an exploration of movement, mechanisms, and shapes that feel natural to me. By leading with curiosity, I feel less pressure to create something perfect. No matter what I’m making, I’m exploring something new rather than trying to fulfill a predetermined space.”
