Hayani x Neta concept for Markhams

The collaboration forms part of “Meet The Makers” – by Relay Jeans to showcase the craft and denim culture within our community. We are happy to come on board and have a suggestion on the best way forward to make both brands shine. To keep to the authentic storytelling and focus on the individual stories, our suggestion is that we collaborate on a collection of products - The Wafer Collection - a collaboration between Relay Jeans X NETA Studio that features a denim infused collection of furniture pieces.

WAFER COLLECTION

  • To keep to the authentic storytelling and focus on the individual stories. With this collection, we want to show the quality and beauty of denim in its most minimal. By laminating the denim between the aluminium sheets we are able to highlight the beauty of denim while also softening the steel by creating a contrast between the two materials – the harshness and shine of steel vs the softness of denim and its rugged texture.
