Daniel Kennedy-Martin creates bold, minimal jewellery that fuses futuristic design with traditional craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from brutalist architecture, Modern British sculpture, and retro-space age aesthetics, his pieces explore strength, tension and connection, the spaces between forms, transformations by impact and collision.
Often designing in CAD, he embraces the digital process as an active part of his creative language, allowing forms to emerge through the potential of technology.
He has received gold, silver and bronze Goldsmiths Craft and Design Council Awards for jewellery design. He received his BA at the Slade School of Fine Art, later training in traditional bench jewellery at WAES and Holts Academy Hatton Garden before completing his GIA CCC in New York.
Kennedy-Martin uses “menswear” rather than “men’s” to describe his structured, bold design language. The pieces carry masculine energy but are meant for anyone drawn to powerful, confident, sculptural lines.
