Chignon No. 1

Chignon (pronounced shee-nyon) is a breathtaking collaborative collection born from the creative minds at HENRII (pronounced (ohn-rē).

Chignon /noun/ a hairstyle that is often created by gathering hair at the nape of the neck and twisting it into a bun or knot.

The initial body of work, aptly named Chignon, evokes a sense of tactile fluidity following the sweeping contours of a woman's chignon. HENRII masterfully crafted abstract interpretations of these shapes using clay, then was translated into our engineered polymer.

“We wanted to capture the quiet and strong beauty behind the ritual of a woman placing her hair. This lead us to delve into other studies on the sculpting of hair, whether it be a haphazard twist or a carefully coiled arrangement.” -HENRII
