Georgie Swift and Milenka Osen created TMOD after completing their Design studies together at The College Of Fine arts (COFA, UNSW) in 2007.  TMOD is a driven by a desire to design without constraints, merging boundaries and challenging the expectations of functionality and purpose.

TMOD specialises in experiential multidisciplinary design, using a combination of materials and processes. This amalgamation of the fields of design, including fashion, object and graphics, focuses on interaction and creates a playful sense of experience, with elements of the unexpected.

TMOD, with their inventive “Oh Fiddlesticks”, “Smoke & Mirrors” & “Poetry In Braille” collections, explores beyond the static form of conventional jewellery. TMOD create pieces that communicate beyond the visual, producing unique sensory objects for the wearer/user.

TMOD’s interactive stationary includes cards that fold out, spin, pop out, threaded with ribbons and their infamous scratchie cards, featuring whimsical old world illustrations.

Social and environmental reasonability is an essential part of TMOD’s output. TMOD has also been involved in exhibiting interactive works through Oxfam Australia at The MCA, aiming to create awareness of the problems of global warming and encourage people to consider their ecological impact. The range “Poetry in Braille,” provided a new understanding to the language of Braille in society with a percentage of each sale been donated to vision Australia.

In 2009 TMOD featured in the top 10 for The SOYA Spirit Of Youth Awards for emerging creative talent, in the Industrial & Object Design category.

TMOD’s jewellery and cards are currently stocked online and at boutique fashion stores and galleries throughout Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
