Suzanne Syz is a Geneva-based designer and art collector known for her imaginative approach to contemporary jewelry. After living in New York in the 1980s, where she became close to artists such as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Julian Schnabel, she returned to Switzerland and founded her eponymous jewelry house. Her creations, blending humor, color, and exquisite craftsmanship, redefined high jewelry with a playful, artistic spirit. A passionate collector, she has supported contemporary art for decades through the Syz Collection and numerous collaborations with artists and designers.
Nicolas Trembley is an art critic, exhibition curator, and contemporary art advisor who shares his time between Paris and Geneva. He is currently artistic director of the Syz collection. He has organised numerous exhibitions on the connections between contemporary art and craft, notably the touring exhibition « Sgrafo vs. Fat Lava. Ceramics and Porcelains made in West Germany 1960–1980 » (2011), and several exhibitions between 2013 and 2022 exploring the Japanese Mingei folk craft movement, notably « Mingei: Are You Here? » at Pace Gallery, London and New York, in 2014. He recently organised CRAFT» at Galerie Francesca Pia, Zurich, in 2023, and « Les céramiques» de Wifredo Lam at the Musée Guimet, Paris, in 2022–23. He recently curated « Drawings for Tokyo» at Shibunkaku, Tokyo, bringing together artist Wade Guyton and potter Rosanjin.
