Werkstatt:München 2024/25 Collection Truth – Artisanal Avant Garde Jewelry & Accessories
I BELIEVE THAT UNARMED TRUTH AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WILL HAVE THE FINAL WORD IN REALITY. – Martin Luther King Jr.
The WERKSTATT:MÜNCHEN Collection 2024/25 is dedicated to TRUTH which is the value very needed and most difficult to achieve, especially in times like these.
Truth can sometimes be obvious, sometimes just a hint – setting aside former figurative shapes and designs, we were looking for a very pure formal language for the current work.
The result is a selection of carefully chosen jewelry pieces, stripped down to the bare: pure shapes, no decoration but sublime beauty, reinforcing the wearer’s personality.
The first storyline of the truth concept is called “folded”. Inspired by origami – the art of folding paper – we worked with flat silver wires to play with angles, proportions and lines, aiming to transform a flat silver sheet into a sculptured three-dimensional piece, realized in a more freestyle manner.
You will find rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, all folded freehand from one piece of metal, appealing through the transformation of the flexibility of paper into the solidity of the precious metal.
Folding consequently led us to use a square box chain, whose links are shaped by folding flat wire into one another. A row of styles like rings, fine hook bracelets, a pretty stiff choker, and fine earrings emerged.
In the pursuit of the truth, we didn’t, metaphorically speaking, ‘photoshop’ by cleaning or adding any toolmarks on the surfaces.
Following the idea of lines – the game of light and shadow – WERKSTATT worked with a “track” wire to create earrings, ear cuffs, rings, bracelets, and hooks for a body chain to eventually hold your phone. The track pattern is applied onto every silver surface by a vintage hand-mill.
Adding to the range of WERKSTATT:MÜNCHEN jewelry, you also find new hair pins, ear cuffs and body chains, composed of 100 percent sterling silver, that allow you to enrich your individual wardrobe with accents of timeless beauty.
Choose from pieces with the characteristic surface of hand hammered facettes, that WERKSTATT is known for, or with a scale inspired hand-milled outcome.
This year’s silver ware item is spoon #2 which can be used as shoehorn but also can be worn as a dadaistic necklace with a wink.
