TAKASHI TOMII We Are Atoms I create the things I want to live with. Some of those are made to become more beautiful with time — as they are used, touched, and aged, the boundary between the maker, the material, and the user begins to dissolve. That transformation, to me, is what beauty is. Among these is the series I call We Are Atoms — a body of work that grew from my fascination with the atomic patterns I observed through a scanning tunneling microscope during my student years. I was struck by the realisation that everything — people, materials, nature — is made of the same tiny elements. Works are inspired by microscopic observations of microorganisms, and by a poetic, constructed language of my own design. Though I studied surface physics in graduate school, I now work in a much more instinctive and primitive way, using traditional Japanese hand tools to shape my materials. In a time when difference is so often emphasised, these pieces are intended to serve as gentle reminders of what we share.

ROMILLY SAUMAREZ SMITH Feathered 2026 Silver, 9ct red gold, picture agates backed with gold leaf 12 x 7 cm Impossible to count, there must be thousands of feathers in this piece. If you melt a small bit of silver it will form a ball, gold does the same but metals like copper, lead, zinc, steel do not. These tiny pieces of silver are placed on to masking tape and passed through a rolling mill to flatten and shape them. A small length of 0.5 silver wire is soldered to each feather, before bending each individually and threading into the base. No two are exactly the same. The feathers are heat-oxidised, which gives more variation in colour, and is not as starkly black as an oxidising solution. The plate that forms the base is drilled out with thousands of holes. The wires are threaded through them, which in their turn have the ends heated to form another ball, so that each feather is secured but has movement. The birdlike agates are set with 9 carat red gold rub over settings and each stone has a backing of loose 22 carat moon gold leaf which gives a feeling of depth to the stones. Romilly Saumarez Smith works with a series of ‘translators’ - these new wall pieces were made specially for Collect 2026 with Carola Solcia & Rachel Jones.

CHRISTINA ODEGARD Amber drops and cluster ring on ebony stained walnut plinth 2024 16.5 x 9 x 5.5 cm Born in the UK, now living in Los Angeles, Christina received her degree in Jewellery + Metalsmithing from Rhode Island School of Design. Her work explores materials, colour, texture, density and malleability. Materials inform her process, whether carving, forming or casting. In these works, there is a curiosity with light, whether directly through the material or reflecting from it, a quality which is in constant flux, balancing inquiry with material stillness. By combining different materials in one piece, there is an interaction, a complement which reveals something previously invisible. Christina is dedicated to the practice of making, using her hands, a sensitivity of touch, to discover the essence of materials. Through the process of subtracting, removing material, there is an inherent risk of losing, but it is this risk, that allows the form to be revealed.
