Mystic Forms

Mystic Forms MYSTIC FORMS is a hand crafted jewellery collection by a London-based Japanese artist Akiko Ban, co-

Started as an artistic research project by a London-based visual artist Akiko Ban in collaboration with a digital media designer Taiyo Nagano, MYSTIC FORMS is an experimental jewellery brand inspired by the 'mystic forms' found all around the world. Akiko is a practice artist originally from Tokyo known for her lively drawings and sculptures that seek to establish a primitive, naturalistic and spi

ritual view of the world. In the process of creating this ‘Wearable Art’, she aims to create a special ritualistic and theatrical art object that acts as a prop and converts the wearer into an art piece themselves. Exploring the relationship between art and body is one of the research areas pursued by Akiko in her art practice. She has previously collaborated with Japanese fashion brand ‘matohu’ and has also worked with choreographers and contemporary dancers. For this project, she has chosen jewellery as her medium, to demonstrate her belief that art should be more accessible, personal and enjoyable for everyone. MYSTIC FORMS strives for a new approach exploring the boundaries between art and fashion. Akiko holds a MFA in Sculpture from Slade School of Fine Art and a BA in Drawing from Camberwell College of Arts (UAL) . Her works have been exhibited internationally and her recent projects include the collaboration with Basement Jaxx and the legendary Japanese animation Neon Genesis Evangelion. Her work ‘Sky Goddess’ was selected for RA summer show in 2016. Taiyo is a graphic and digital media designer originally from Tokyo and he is an integral part of MYSTIC FORMS as a creative director. He is the founder of the east London design studio Tamassy Creative which he set up in 2010. He holds an MA in Digital Arts from Camberwell College of Arts (UAL) and BA in International Studies from Meijigakuin University in Japan.


ミスティック・フォームズ：ロンドン在住の現代美術作家、播安芸子とデザイナー、長野大洋によって２０１５年にスタートしたジュエリーブランド。

MYSTIC FORMSとは「神秘的な形状、儀礼」を意味する。現代美術作家である播の制作テーマのひとつ、「アートと身体の関わり」の探求から派生したプロジェクトであり、ビジュアルデザイナー長野によるグラフィカルな装飾が加わったその作品は「WEARABLE ART（身につけるアート）」と位置付けられている。

目指すのは身につけた人の存在自体がセルフステートメントとなり、アート作品と化すようなプロップを完成させること。まとうことで高揚感を得て、自己のオリジナリティを賛美できるようなアクセサリーを創作するというコンセプトが込められている。

インスピレーションは旅先で見つけた世界中の「神秘的なフォーム」。それにロンドンと東京のポップカルチャーがミックスされたエッジの効いたデザインは早くも注目を集め、ロンドンのテート美術館、大英博物館やファッション&テキスタイルミュージアムをはじめ国内外で販売されている。

Introducing the SPLASH Necklace from our CITY POP Collection👙💦

Inspired by City Pop — the genre of Japanese music that emerged in the late 1970s and flourished in the 1980s — this unique statement piece captures the vibrant, optimistic, and urban spirit of the era.

With its playful composition and pop of colours, the SPLASH Necklace brings a sense of joy and playfulness — bold in presence, yet beautifully lightweight for everyday wear🌈

A special moment we had to share💙

Featuring the AKHET Drop Earrings from our GIZA Collection.

Akhet is an ancient Egyptian word meaning "horizon," often represented in hieroglyphs as the sun rising over a mountain, symbolising the horizon☀️

Recently, we were so happy to spot historian Gráinne Goodwin wearing these pieces while watching The Race for Ancient Egypt in Colour on Channel 4 📺

Seeing our work worn by someone so closely connected to the history and culture that inspired the design felt incredibly meaningful🥹

Please note this piece is currently made order - it may take up to one week to post.

Gallery inspiration🎨

We recently visited the Estorick Collection — one of our favourite places in London, and felt truly inspired by their current exhibition on Alessandro Mendini.

The show celebrates Mendini’s playful and poetic approach to design, spanning his extraordinary career and iconic collaborations with Alessi and Swatch.

His work is full of bold colours and expressive shapes, bringing together joy, imagination, and a sense of freedom in design.

Spending time with these works felt especially uplifting during difficult times in the world — a reminder of how creativity can offer light, reflection, and connection.

Lately, taking time to look at art like this has helped us reset and reconnect with creativity.

Moments like this continue to inspire our own creative journey ✨

Alessandro Mendini runs until 10 May 2026.
