Mizuki Tochigi We talk about how the environment inspired her work, and how by working locally and starting conversations she was able to inspire her peers to join her in the movement towards a more sustainable way of living. Mizuki Tochigi is one of those pioneering sustainability jewellery brands based in London/Tokyo. We got to chat to Mizuki about her work, and we caught her in her Tokyo studio, surrounded by empty water bottles which she collected from friends and peers. Her work is inspirational, because unlike many, her way of living is an example to those who give her the bottles, and later on she explained to us how she got people to change their lifestyle, by bringing in their own water bottles rather than buying single-use plastic ones. Her designs include the use of bottles, cables, ties, crystals (in a collaboration with Swarovski), and in 2019 she received the Grand Prix LVMH scholarship.
