About Artworks
Coming from a jewellery background, Rose Morant is now embarking on a series of large sculptures like monumental jewellery
pieces specifically created for the Temple Collection. This is a reflection on Scale, Time and Space.
Rose has always worked with the best natural materials. To anchor her work throughout the ground of the Temple Hotel Beijing, she uses large ancient “earthy” wooden beams as key elements for giant necklaces. She hangs them to “the sky” and place
on them glowing golden “moon” spheres. Rose also installs on the
“ground” a “galaxy” of giant beads creating a necklace of “planets”
made of palladium, golden and black lacquer.
These spheres are made of flowers collected from Buddhist Temples. These flowers, and the multiple thoughts and memories of
their donors, are now recycled and permanently captured into
these globes which now radiate within Rose’s Galaxy Jewelry
Collection.
Places, materials, thoughts can always be recycled or reincarnated
into a new shining dimension.

Rose Morant
Franco Swiss artist, born in Paris in 1963; based in Hong Kong.
Following ethnological and social studies, Rose Morant entered
the creative side of fashion and simultaneously travelled extensively throughout Asia. She became a creative supplier to the
very best European luxury brands due to her expertise of Asian
crafts and skills. Research and development have been her primary activities for the last twenty years parallel to having her own
accessories brand Rose Morant in Paris. Her very deep interest in traditional savoir-faire and techniques led her to patiently
revive ancestral crafts that were disappearing, giving her a rare
specialization and highly appreciated know-how.
In 2012, Rose Morant started to create contemporary art pieces
- sculpture, furniture and jewellery. Her work is nourished by her
long experience and intimate knowledge of materials and rare
techniques. Materials are at the heart of her work - lacquer, gold
leaf, metal, wood, fabrics, precious stones, flower powder... She
is also constantly driven to giving new life to secular materials,
whatever they might be, by putting them into new dimensions.
Scale is also a central preoccupation in her work - a bracelet can
be just a bracelet or become a monumental sculpture, assuming
new dimensions. New monumental sculptures are in progress.
