Welcome to the Neon Zinn collection of rope jewelry, adornment, everyday armor, personal fashion statements, and soft wearable sculptures.
Explorations in tension and fluidity.
If art holds a specific frequency for the viewer, one they can return to again and again, the frequency of this work contains freedom in the midst of tension. Rope holds latent potential in every twisted fiber. This group of wall pieces elicit the cooperation of rope to express expansive potential much like an instrument draws a note and suspends it in the air.

The new Contour Collection
The next generation of everyday, eye-catching, lightweight ropewear.
Refined craft with an experimental touch.
Over the course of the last 12 years Seth Damm has elevated common cotton rope into extraordinary wearable works ranging from everyday designs to complex sculpture-like works of art.
His layered use of dyed color applied in his New Orleans studio to each section of necklace, as well as meticulous attention to handmade details of wrapped yarn, beading, and brass closures have brought this work to the attention of collectors and lovers of soft jewelry and fashion; from Halle Berry, Solange, Erykah Badu, Esperanza Spalding and Lily Tomlin (plus many more less recognizable but no less enthusiastic supporters) to ELLE Decor, Marie Claire, BUST and other publications.

OMG, WHAT?, WOW... just a few of the reactions I frequently hear at first sight of NEON ZINN fiber jewelry. Almost a decade ago I was introduced to Seth Damm and what started instantly as a client/vendor relationship blossomed in time into a brotherhood on both personal and creative levels. Watching the work evolve through the years and hosting Seth as an “artist in residence” at both my Martha’s Vineyard and Hudson NY stores has been thrilling as I have been able to introduce the work to countless devotees and collectors of every age, gender and budget.
