This translucent orchid-printed tie continues Keimfleck’s ongoing exploration of structure and sensory experience. Entirely hand-stitched, the orchid motif appears to float within a jelly-like transparent fabric, evoking a visual sensation that is light, elusive, and almost immaterial.
The design draws inspiration from a shared childhood memory in China: the millennial domestic fish tank: a glass tank sitting in a living room corner, glowing colored lights, transparent plastic water plants drifting gently in water; artificial flowers, tiny gems, and bubble stones settled at the bottom, glowing softly like miniature props from a fairy tale. These obscure fragments form a collective visual memory for a generation. Keimfleck reinterprets this hazy, synthetic, imperfect yet sensorially overloaded world through the lens of contemporary accessory design—rendering it nostalgic, dreamlike, and oddly comforting.
This tie challenges the conventional formality of traditional neckwear, shifting fluidly between formal and casual. Offered in two lengths, it can be paired with shirts and tailored ensembles or worn as a versatile statement piece in everyday styling.
