Obtuse creates challenging and playful pieces, which function as adornment and interactive objects. Obtuse is owned by Lynne Avis, a Fine Art and Jewellery Design graduate. Lynne creates and produces each individual piece herself. This allows her complete freedom of design, in which her clients find a similar expression of self. Obtuse’s style appeals to those who are interested in quirky and ‘fringe’ fashion and accessories.

​

Lynne’s wide background of art study enables her to approach jewellery a little differently; creating work with conceptual narratives and designing from a broader range of creative knowledge.

​

Obtuse plays with expanding definitions of contemporary jewellery whilst retaining functionality. Her collections each contain small deviations from the norm, adding an element of adventure and daring.
