When jewellery becomes a form of expression
Colour, material, meaning and the person who gives a piece its context.
An object that moves with a person
When you choose a piece of jewellery, you also choose how it will move with you. Its weight, texture and position become part of how you wear it. We make the piece, but the person wearing it gives it another layer of meaning.
Making involves more than assembly
The decisions can be as considered as those made in other creative practices: the relationship between colours, the balance of a composition and the effect of combining unexpected materials. Our workshops make those decisions accessible through components that can be moved, compared and rearranged.
One material can cross several worlds
Our jewellery techniques have travelled into trainer charms, hat customisation and mixed-media bag accessories. At Sonderhaus, textiles and gems changed the surface of a familiar cap. At MAX&Co., knots and hand-made beads gave a collection launch its own material language. The craft develops through the way it is applied.
Meaning belongs to the wearer
A piece can complement an outfit and hold a personal story at the same time. Its value may come from the care in its construction, the memory of making it or the detail that only its wearer understands. We give that meaning room to develop through the experience.
