PICHULIK‘s SS22 Kokomo Collection is inspired by The Beach Boys’ fictional beachside paradise and boasts lush, bold idiosyncratic colour combinations that encourage playfulness – an antidote to the theme of loss and grief that has characterised the last two years.

Kokomo is the place we all have nostalgia for, whether conjured from our own memory or simply existent in the mind’s eye. It is the place that PICHULIK Women go to revel in the serious business of simple summer pleasures: no exotic jet-setting nor fine-dining affairs, just watermelons split haphazardly between friends and sun-tired evenings spent dancing to songs assumed forgotten. This is the spirit of PICHULIK’s Kokomo Collection and we’re here for it.

Featuring jewellery designs that are at once playful and sophisticated, the Kokomo Collection includes Amie bracelets and necklaces that can be joined to create varying lengths and colour combinations. Verdant greens and island blues complement hunter green and rust orange. The distinctive Kokomo pendant contrasts maroon with aqua blue, paying homage to seventies design. La Playa hoops are sculptural brass silhouettes edged in signature PICHULIK rope while the Arcana chain necklace pairs with Milagro hoops for easy transitions from day to night.

Ethical South African jewellery label Pichulik opens the doors of its new atelier retail space in Harrington Street, Cape Town, and features an interior aesthetic inspired by creative director Katherine Pichulik’s love of texture, nature and spaciousness.

Housed in a heritage building with an air of eras past, the new atelier forms a white backdrop against which the story of Pichulik is told. It’s a space born of the desire for authentic engagement in a time of pervasive digital connections; one that celebrates all that Pichulik is about: craftsmanship, community, and South Africa.

The interiors boast sculptural furniture pieces by designer Xandre Kriel that are origami-reminiscent; large shapes in bone white. The Sculp table is a monolithic altar against the white of the curtains, while the Samosa table, with its curved edges, appears to float off the floor. Directional lighting and large shapes make the experience almost ceremonial.

Here, customers can not only browse a comprehensive curation of Pichulik designs, but also take a peek behind the curtain to see where it is all made, because it’s within this atelier’s studio that everything is assembled and embellished. The brass components are cast in a foundry nearby, and up to 90% of the materials are procured locally.
