Who is the designer and founder of Werkstatt:München?

After having studied gold and silversmith and graduating as a master craftsman, Klaus Lohmeyer established WERKSTATT:MÜNCHEN in 1996 and is the head designer, surrounded by a community of craftsmen, fashion designers and artists.

What is the design philosophy and source of inspiration for Werkstatt:München?

Drawing inspiration from music subculture, philosophy, and art, WERKSTATT:MÜNCHEN is constantly seeking for the perfect balance between meaning, beauty, and function, while cherishing the heritage of making things by hand in the best possible way. Following their philosophy, every part of the composition is independently crafted and the team is constantly developing new ideas for links and closures, to make their pieces comfortable to wear as well as sometimes invisible for the eye.

What is Werkstatt:München producing besides jewelry?

The passion for raw materials and traditional working techniques naturally brought Werkstatt:München to develop a collection of handsewn accessories, including bags and wallets and cashmere garments embellished with silver details, clasps and closures all made in their atelier.

Is Werkstatt:München producing sustainable?

The in-house production is a contemporary example of sustainable work. The respect of the environment supported by a conscious approach to consumption is one of the core themes. Consequently, Werkstatt:München works exclusively with natural products, meaning recycled metals, vegetable tanned leathers, and in both – metal and leather – they avoid any chemical coverings of the surfaces and leave them in a natural state. Therefore you wont find any plated pieces in their collection.
