Junichi Hakose, a renowned lacquerware craftsman, has collaborated with many monumental French Maisons from Van Cleef & Arpels to Chanel. Hakose creates masterpieces that carry the effortless and unique charm of traditional Wajima lacquer. As seen through his creations with Van Cleef & Arpels and Christofle, his lacquer works create delicate scenes of serenity, merging traditional skill with contemporary style. While the butterfly collection that Hakose had created with Van Cleef & Arpels is rather popular, his work with the limited-edition Alhambra pendant is rare, with this particular piece being number 7 of 50. Hakose marries both Eastern and Western essences in a piece which is everlasting, transforming an iconic collection of Van Cleef & Arpels’ into a statement of artistic elegance.
