Animal Face Industries

01 / The designs

Color. Pattern.
A little irregularity.

Choose a design that catches your eye. Look closer, then tell us what you would make your own.

01 / ColorDesign

Redshift

Groups of red facets alternate with pale blue and brighter turquoise-colored beads. Light catches a different edge with every change of color.

02 / RhythmDesign

Soft Signal

Pale pink and pale blue facets keep the palette soft. Brighter turquoise-colored beads bring a few clear interruptions.

Quiet Orbit

Pale patterned ovals surround a larger cream-colored round focal. Small reddish-brown accents pick up the markings in the ovals.

02 / Our approach

A sense of order.
A curious streak.

A repeating color. A shift in scale. An interval that breaks the rhythm. Small departures can give an arrangement its character.

A little irregularity goes a long way.

03 / About the house

One house. Many kinds of interesting.

Animal Face Industries is a strange, disciplined design house. Our beaded jewelry follows color and pattern, with a curious streak that keeps the repeats from becoming too predictable.
