Science being a clear influence from the beginning, Aroha Silhouettes’ designs parlay a distinctly clean and minimalist vibe, combining the elements of a sterile laboratory with influences of structural chemistry and geometric shapes. With her use of negative space, contrasting silhouettes and bold lines, designer Tania Hennessy’s style emerges as a hybrid of concept, imagination and innovation, injected with her own brand of alternative edge.
Her personal favorite, and the company’s most popular pieces to date, are those from the Molecular Addictions Collection. Here, Tania has created an entire line of visually compelling depictions of various neurotransmitters (serotonin), sex hormones (oxytocin) and outré ‘wearable vices’, from the innocent (caffeine and chocolate), to the more illicit (THC, LSD and MDMA).
The pieces are made from a strong yet lightweight stainless steel that either has a smooth matte black powder coating with gunmetal chain and findings or is uncoated with silver plated chain and findings.
