ABOUT US

Our
Story
We are built from the memories and connections we share—a permanent scaffolding that endures beyond physical presence.
UNA THE WIMPER reframes skeletal forms as the intrinsic architecture of the human experience, shifting the narrative of mortality from darkness to a celebration of life’s journey. Every piece is designed as a "vessel for comfort"—a tactile anchor created to navigate the complexities of remembrance and shared humanity.
About Una
Una is a Hong Kong-born, Sheffield-based designer-maker whose practice explores the delicate boundary between life and death. By reframing skeletal forms as the foundation of our shared existence, she creates wearable art that bridges the gap between mourning and gratitude.
Recipient of a Silver Award in Conceptual Jewellery at the 2025 Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council Awards and featured in the Sheffield Assay Master Collection, Una’s work is a testament to technical precision and emotional resonance. Her practice seeks to transform personal traces into objects of enduring beauty, offering a philosophy of "joyful mortality" to those who wear them.
