About
Anna Kos is a designer of luxury collectibles. Having completed a Master's degree in Design at Central Saint Martins in London, Anna works with master craftsmen and draws on the rich history of coloured stone carving to transform it into contemporary collectible designs.
Driven by extensive archival and on-site research, she collaborates with a network of highly skilled artisans to create one-of-a-kind pieces that transcend trends and cannot be replicated.
Working with stone-carving traditions passed down through generations for over 300 years, Anna reinterprets these rare techniques for a contemporary audience, preserving a unique cultural heritage while supporting the artisans who keep it alive.
The collection blurs the boundaries between furniture and jewellery, using semi-precious stone mosaics, jewellery-setting techniques, and sculptural forms. Developed with Ural stone-cutting artisans, whose lineage traces back to the House of Fabergé, the collection is rooted in historical techniques yet expressed through contemporary forms. The pieces reinterpret traditional deep-green malachite stone mosaics and unique watercolour jasper mosaics through the metaphor of interior jewellery. Brass details echo jewellery settings, giving 300-year-old craftsmanship new life through collectible design made to endure as an alternative to fast consumption and disposable design.
