The Visionary
Born in Germany, but based in London ever since studying fine arts at Central Saint Martins, Julia Muggenburg is the creative force behind the cult of Belmacz — the originator of every one of its precious cuffs, pins or rings and each of its glimmering beauty balms. Like a cultural nomad, she journeys through time and space in pursuit of the diverse influences and extraordinary inspirations that make any Belmacz jewel a thing of substance and special beauty. Fascinated by age-old rituals of adornment, she transforms mineral, organic and natural materials into modern forms ranging from eccentric to serene.
The Cult
Belmacz is not a luxury brand. It’s a creative agenda, a cult in which Julia Muggenburg harnesses alchemic powers of creativity and craft to transform materials both base and precious into objects of beauty and special desire. Imagine her beguiling Belmacz jewels — some refined, others wild, but always extraordinary. Or consider Belmacz Beauty preparations — balms, creams and glosses enriched with gold, crushed pearls and powdered gemstones. Exclusively available at the world’s most exciting stores... and at the Belmacz space in Davies Street, London.
The Space
The Belmacz cult has always been enriched through Juila Muggenburg’s creative dialogue with artists, sculptors, craftspeople and designers. Now, as well as a ravishing gallery-atelier for her extraordinary jewellery designs and alchemy-inspired beauty preparations, the new Belmacz space in London’s Davies Street is dedicated to all that’s unique and unexpected. Juxtaposing refined with savage, and antique with avant garde, this curious cocoon transcends previous parameters of shopkeeping and art curation to provide a captivating cultural experience. It’s the place to find an ever-changing array of wonders drawn from a range of iconoclasts as diverse in their vision as they are robust in their convictions.
