THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The first form of the brand — where STRUGA began. The first form of the brand. STRUGA began with it — and so did the project’s central experiment: take one form and carry it across different types of pieces.

The original SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC form cut from Toxic Graphite carbon fiber — STRUGA's DNA in the most radioactive palette. Pure carbon, no metal.
Toxic Graphite is one of six carbon palettes developed in-house: acid greens and yellows pierced through black and grey, reading like a warning sign under pressure. This form launched the brand — the first SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC object, here in a poison spectrum. CNC-cut from multi-layered matte carbon fiber, threaded onto a 75 cm suede cord. No silver, no hardware — the object is the material.
Ultralight, waterproof, permanent — carbon doesn't age. For those who want a loud, chemical object on the body — brand DNA tuned to high voltage.
Material: STRUGA's own carbon fiber — no silver, no metal hardware. Pure carbon on a suede cord.
Palette: Toxic Graphite — one of six in-house carbon palettes; acid greens and yellows through black and grey.
Family / world: SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC (CODEX) — the brand's first and most widely represented form.
Surface: matte, colorfast. Carbon does not age, darken, or patinate; the pattern is unique to each cut.
Care: ultralight and waterproof — wipe clean; nothing to polish.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a brand of experimental minimalism in Dark Fashion, founded in Bali. Founders and designers — Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova. Production: Bali and Stavropol. Most pieces are 925 sterling silver with natural patina or hand-patination; this object is in-house carbon fiber — stable and colorfast. A brutalist object.
Frequently asked questions
What is this pendant made of, and does it contain any silver?
The pendant is made entirely from STRUGA's own carbon, in the Toxic Graphite palette. There is no silver and no metal hardware in it — it is pure carbon, threaded onto a suede cord.
How much does the pendant weigh, and how does it sit on the neck?
The carbon piece weighs 5 grams and is almost imperceptible on the neck — carbon is ultralight. The cord is 75 cm, so the object hangs freely and the attention stays on the form itself.
Does the carbon darken and patinate the way silver does?
No. Carbon is the counterweight to silver: it does not change over time, does not darken, and does not patinate. Silver is alive and responds to skin and air, while carbon stays the same. The colour and the matte surface hold for years.
What is Toxic Graphite?
Toxic Graphite is one of the palettes of STRUGA's own carbon. In the layered material, acid greens and yellows surface through black and grey. The pattern is different on every object — it depends on how the cut falls across the layers.
What is the SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC family?
SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC is STRUGA's first form and its most widely represented. The brand began here: one recognisable form carried through different pieces — from a pendant to a chain link to a clasp. The aesthetic is CNC machining of sheet material — sharp edges, even planes, recesses.
