We have had prominent press appearances in renowned magazines and publications such as Harper's Bazaar, Monocle, Bullett, Robb Report, Portuguese Soul. Our gold plated A-III Ring is being featured in the personal and professional life of Tina Loves, and has appeared by her side in Loewe's campaign for their newest Leo bag. We had the honor of meeting Tina at Premiere Classe- Jardin des Tuileries Sept-Oct 2012 edition.

Before that, the Who's Next Premiere Classe, being selected for the Catwalk, one of 10 brands of 2000 participants), and in the meantime collaborated with artist-performer Marina Abramovic, and soon to come collaborations with Halle Berry and Jane Birkin. LOTOCOHO has created a one of a kind jewellery collection in porcelain for the renowned Porcelain and Glass factory Vista Alegre in Aveiro, Portugal.

Previously in 2012, we have exhibitied in INHORGENTA of Munich (one of the most important fairs in Europe)(www.inhorgenta.com), will have an individual exhibition in the famous BeyondFashion Gallery in Antwerp and has also presented in the Diamond Jubilee Show in London during the summer 2012.

In 2011, LOTOCOHO's “Ergonomic Territories” has presented in in JustMadrid during ARCO (www.justmad.es), on the runway in the Pasarela Cibeles during MADRID FASHION WEEK with Belen Vidal (www.belenvidal.eu),  in the ICFF of New York during May (www.designboom.com), PARIS FASHION WEEK with Joaquin Trias (www.joaquintrias.com) and in the SIERAAD fair of Amsterdam in November (www.sieraadartfair.com).

We will constantly update new events and coming confirmations..

Construction of the collection

Once the sign and its context has been investigated, like the Atlas by Aby Warburg, we translate according to geometric rules (Euclidian or Thiessen polygons) those signs and we convert them into symbols.

There are scale modifications as well and ergonomic approximations to the human body.

LOTOCOHO is a brand of creation that translates signs into symbols.

Translating landscapes and signs into jewellery we have created a collection called Ergonomic Territories.

This collection is based on geology and landscapes, contemporary languages.

Made up of rings, fibulas or brooches, bracelets and different elements that complement the anatomy.

Ergonomic Territories is an infinite system of creation.

Shaped by an idea that relates nature, the abstract-artificial and the learning of a constant game.

It is a field of opportunities where the act of use derived from enjoyment provokes knowledge trapped in accumulated histories/stories about "mountains" or its most basic geologic constructions (diamonds-rocks).

Decontextualised landscapes are built to scale and multiplied in knowledge.

Mountains contain unseen stories.

Learning stories through objects. The inverse journey of religion that dumps these stories on an object, mythifying it.

Mountains built on stories, mountains of stories.

Proposal

We propose to make visible the geometric constructions and physical/material that imply decisions and delimit cultures.

Generate spaces of exchange where the physical rule of geology, the connections and its expressions are assimilated by its users.

We want a space that generates a memory, reminiscence or complex association of distinct perceptions, neither arbitrary and undetermined, nor objective: symbolic, that explains a moment in which determined distinct influences overlap in a mixed variable degree and combination generating a Landscape.

Build an artificial landscape on the foundations of the anatomy of the human body that at the same time refers to the natural construction beyond the emblem, in the milestone.
