Philippe Vergez’s Design Philosophy, A Fusion of Freedom, Love, and Timeless Artistry

Renowned for his rebellious yet refined designs, Philippe Vergez’s work is deeply rooted in the themes of personal storytelling and emotional connection. Drawing inspiration from music, family history, and the rich cultural heritage of his homeland in the Basque Country, Vergez's creations transcend traditional jewelry design, becoming statements of freedom, love, and legacy. His pieces are not just designed, they are experiences, capturing the essence of the past while looking forward to the future. Vergez, whose company is based in Hong Kong, traveled extensively throughout his career, gaining cultural and creative insights from around the world. However, it is his return to his roots in the Basque Country that has fueled his most recent works, including The Roaring Lion Choker. Designed between the creative pulse of Greenwich Village and the serene shores of the Hamptons, this choker was born from a quest for inspiration and crafted as a bold expression of elegance and strength for UK-based performer, lyricist, composer, director, and actress Qymira."Design is an emotional journey, one that comes from within. I create to tell stories, to preserve feelings, rebellion, and truth. The Roaring Lion Choker is a reflection of everything that drives me, shaped by history, love, and the fight for freedom," says Vergez. "This particular piece was designed for Qymira to wear on stage during her UK tour. It's a perfect blend of personal connection and artistic expression."About the A’ Design AwardThe A’ Design Award is one of the most prestigious global accolades, celebrating the best in design, innovation, and creativity. Philippe Vergez’s Roaring Lion Choker was chosen for its originality, craftsmanship, and its ability to push boundaries while staying true to timeless artistry.
