The Catalogue

Nine Lines.

Seven recurring, two capsule.

Each line has its own register, its own customer entry point, its own sample pieces. All sit inside the Wunderkammer. All sort by Bouba and Kiki.

Line 01

Loves.

Drawn from a two-hundred-song cycle across three albums — The Spark, The Strange Mile, The Wound. Each love-type becomes a piece. The line is the brand's emotional spine.

Sample pieces

  • The Eros cuff — Album 1: The Spark — brass with Tyrian-enameled inscription
  • The Situationship pendant — Album 1: The Spark — half-finished moonstone setting
  • The Codependent earrings — Album 3: The Wound — mismatched pair, intentionally inseparable
  • The Healing brooch — Album 3: The Wound — Seiji-iro enamel, slow-pour finish

Untranslatable Words line
Line 02

Untranslatable Words.

Two hundred single-word concepts curated from over forty languages. Each piece named in the original tongue, accompanied by a printed card explaining the meaning. The line's purpose: give the wearer a private vocabulary the room hasn't heard yet.

Sample pieces

  • Saudade — Portuguese scarf — silk twill, Bronze-hour colorway
  • Sisu — Finnish pendant — quiet stubborn grit against impossible odds
  • Yūgen — Japanese pendant — the profound mysterious beauty of the world
  • Kefi — Greek brooch — enameled, Tyrian on Seiji-iro
Line 03

Komorebi.

A hundred words and invented terms for specific qualities of light. Komorebi (dappled sunlight through leaves). Vesper (soft evening glow). Bronze hour. Velvet shadow. The line names colorways and finishes more than discrete products.

Sample colorways & pieces

  • The Komorebi shawl — hand-dyed silk, dappled-leaf colorway
  • Bronze hour — signature colorway across leather goods and silks
  • Velvet shadow — signature colorway, kiki-register pieces
  • Cathedral light — Tyrian + Seiji + gold thread, one piece per year
Komorebi line
Impermanence line
Line 04

Impermanence.

Words for the transient and fleeting across many languages. Éphémère. Hakanai. Mono no aware. Fugaz. The brand's most philosophical line. Pieces tied to mortality, aging gracefully, the beauty of things that don't last.

Sample pieces

  • Hakanai — Japanese bracelet — fleeting and ephemeral
  • Mono no aware — brooch — enamel-on-brass, edition of 100
  • Caducus — Latin pin — that which falls
  • Anitya — Sanskrit ring — impermanent, in Buddhist usage

Numbered editions. Each piece carries its number on the card.

Line 05

Scheherazades.

Words for fog, mist, veils, and obscurity from many languages. Mjegull (Albanian). Bruma (Spanish). Caligo (Latin). Voile (French). The line covers actual textile veils, mantles, shawls, opera coats — pieces that conceal and reveal. The most architecturally dramatic line.

Sample pieces

  • The Voile cape — silk-and-cashmere, Velvet-shadow colorway
  • The Mjegull shawl — Albanian for fog; sheer cashmere
  • The Pelena wrap — Russian for veil/pall; sheer wool, ivory
  • The Caligo opera coat — Latin for fog/darkness; black-Tyrian wool
Scheherazades line
Volta Feint line
Line 06 · Featured

Volta Feint.

Words for illusion, deception, and the turn. Maboroshi (phantom). Praestigia (sleight of hand). Volta (the poetry-turn). Every piece does something the customer doesn't notice until the second wearing.

Home of the Fordite series — paint that became stone. Layered automotive overspray from Detroit factory racks, prized off, cut, polished, set into rings and pendants. The first glance reads as agate. The second is when the customer sees it.

Sample pieces

  • Mirage cuff — brass with hidden hinge that reverses the inscription
  • Praestigia locket — reversible enamel
  • Tournant ring — band rotates; inscription faces in, then out
  • Fordite cabochon pendant — Detroit overspray, set in brass
  • Apate earring — two earrings that don't quite match
Line 07

Bouba & Kiki.

Hand-tumbled stones engraved by the founder, filled with Rub 'n Buff Gold Leaf, $20–$30. Companion to her two-hundred-track album of the same name. Each stone carries a word that sounds dirty but isn't (bouba register) or sounds clean but isn't (kiki register). Definitions are Devil's-Dictionary style.

A Fordite capsule arrives at the inaugural Cabinet of Funo: fifty laser-engraved Fordite stones, $90–$150 each, the only stones in the line not hand-tumbled by the founder — because Detroit did the tumbling for her over thirty years.

Sample stones

  • Hetaira — bouba — the founding word; included free with every order over $200
  • Pulchritude — bouba — Latin for beauty
  • Booby — bouba — a seabird, family Sulidae
  • Quim — kiki — Chaucer's word
  • Merkin — kiki — a 1450 invention
