Hi everyone, Jessica from Matter + Form here. 👋🏽 It's with a heavy and full heart that I wanted to share that we are now closed, until further notice.
During our run, we featured creatives from all around the world - Ajmer to Amsterdam, Chennai to Colombo. I hope that creators - those who we featured and those we didn't get the chance to - have felt seen, heard, connected, and inspired.

"When I was deciding on a name for the company, I knew I wanted it to be a Sinhala one. I came up with a list of names and Ahasa stood out – it means ‘sky’. It feels appropriate," says Daisy Perry, talking about her nature-inspired jewelry brand.

For Daisy Perry, the iterative process of creation is central to everything she does. Her brand Ahasa presents jewelry that is a perfect blend of lovely bones cast in gold, fused together with delicate gem work to create pieces with an earthy feel.
