I have a few really modern pieces- I got this gorgeous cuff from my parents, it's a one of a kind made by a norwegian artist called Fie von Krogh. Isn't it great? It's made of solid silver with a steel button and is a full 8 cm wide.
Funny thing is, and I totally forgot about this bracelet that I made when I studied modern art and design years ago, before I did my master degree in architecture. It has the same cuff with steel button design. It's made of laminated plastic sheets with steel wires.
I made a line of plexiglass jewellery with very simple geometry in red and clear, as well as a bracelet inspired by the beautiful materiality (the two toned onyx marble) in Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona pavillion. Alas, I don't find that the pieces are very wearable, I don't want to stroke my kids' cheeks while wearing one of those rings, if you know what I mean... I'm sorry about the poor quality of the images, this stuff is really hard to photograph. Wishing you all a great Sunday evening!
What lovely forms, they are very sculptural! I knew we were kindred spirits! Now I'm going to spread the word on your lovely part of the world on my next post! :)
