Léa Stein is a French artist known for her compressed plastic brooches and bracelets. She is often hailed as "the most remarkable and innovative plastic jewellery designer of the 20th century"; Lea began making jewellery in 1969.
In the mid-1960s she started making brooches in plastics. She and her husband created a method to build up layers from very thin sheets of cellulose acetate. The layers were then baked and cut into shapes. This method also enabled her to incorporate other materials into the plastics.
Making these unique plastic brooches was a time-consuming process – the production of a single brooch took no less than 6 months!
