Yamile Salomon
United States of America
Yamile Salomon (Joy) is a Cuban graphic designer. In late 2018 in Havana she launched Joy Color Design, a project dedicated to the design of jewelry and various products that are strongly influenced by graphic design. Now, from her Little Havana apartment in Miami, she creates designs with a visual and conceptual synthesis. As a sort of wearable graphics, her pieces represent where textile meets silversmithing, using embroidery to unify materials and surfaces. Her designs are an elegant yet playful mix of materials, shapes and stories that carry a distinctively Cuban vision of minimalism that seek to be the joy and detail of your day. She currently works with 999 fine silver and recycled acrylic as her main materials. Each piece, imperfect but unique, is manufactured by the designer herself. Access Yamile Salomon Newsroom

Earrings
There are some characteristics that distinguish these pieces and highlight the influence of graphic design. One is the iconicity of the shapes and the visual effect of three-dimensionality that is achieved, only, through textures and thread patterns. The second is the imperfection of each handmade piece. These geometric shapes assume accuracy but don't have it. Each curve and texture are different. They are imperfect but unique, as in nature, and explore the peculiarity of two worlds – cacti and snakes –making them harmoniously coexist in a system.
