What specific processes does 'handmade' in the description mean they do directly?
It is difficult to tell whether the word 'handmade', often used in jewelry, means simple assembly or crafting the entire process by hand. This makes one curious about the specific manufacturing method and how far the creator's hands reach.
A designer team of five, including the CEO, completes everything by hand in their studio, from concept planning and ideation to dyeing and physical fabrication.
There are five people. At 1064 STUDIO, a designer team of five, including CEO Noh So-dam, makes all products directly in one studio[1][2].
They do not hand blueprints over to outside factories. Typically, in fashion jewelry manufacturing, it is common to divide labor by handling only planning and design, and outsourcing practical processes like casting, assembly, and plating to external factories.
Here, it is different. From the initial stage of defining a concept for a new season and conceptualizing shapes, to dyeing the materials and detailed fabrication, the five team members carry it all out by hand in sequence within the studio[3][4].
hmmm, rather than the division of labor in mass-production processes, it is closer to a craft where hands never leave an object from its initial conception until it is completed as a physical item.
We have not yet confirmed the types of dyes used or the specific dyeing process techniques when dyeing by hand in the studio.
