Her name is Sandra Okune.She is the winner of the project promoted by Pandora and Naba (New Academy of Fine Arts) called Moments in Design. The award jury was composed, among others, of Alessandro Guerriero, president of the Advisory board of Naba, Stephen Fairchild, chief creative officer Pandora Group and Massimo Basei, managing director of Pandora Italia.The awards ceremony took place on the first day of the Milan Design Week. Originally from Uganda, Sandra Okune has an international education (including at the London College of Fashion). The young designer has created two necklaces, which she called Treasure Flute. The necklaces were made by combining glass goblets, subsequently gilded, with Pandora chains and charms in gold and silver.The designer’s project is based on the double meaning of the term flute: in English it means flute (traditional instrument of the designer’s tribe of origin), while in French, chalice, a glass used for champagne.The young designer was offered a training experience by Pandora, first in Copenhagen, where the headquarters are located, to come into contact with the company reality. Then, in Thailand, with the Pandora design team.
