German Design Award 2022

We are incredibly proud: our Wilderness jewelry collection has won a German Design Award Special Mention 2022. Our enthusiasm for the idea of capturing the wild spirit of nature in our pieces of jewelry and letting them speak through them is shared. That makes us very happy. When we first considered translating this special feeling of nature into pieces of jewelry, we were faced with a big question: Weren’t we taking on too much? Can all of that be captured in jewelry? All the awe, the wonder, the fear and lostness, the sense of security? All the contradictions and the harmony? The depth of feeling. Where else is all of this possible at the same time?

Our answer: Not everything has to be felt at the same time. It is only important that we feel nature when we design our jewelry, that we feel connected to it when we forge our jewelry. Because it is clear that we can never be sure what part of what we want to communicate will actually be understandable. The important thing is that we try. That we feel what our heart tells us and pass this feeling on in our jewellery. The German Design Award is therefore much more for us than a design prize, it shows us that our love is shared, that we are on the right track.

As a medium for feelings, jewelry appears to be both ideal and not at all suitable. Sometimes a piece of jewelery can get to the heart of what a thousand words cannot say. like it aengagement ringcreates. But what about an original, yes, archaic experience of nature Difficult. But then we remembered our values: Den minimalism. And we designed delicate pieces of jewellery. Full of love, full of wildness, full of wonder. Always reduced, never too loud. Not too much at once.

Amid all the doubts that surround every creative process, we are incredibly proud and overjoyed to be understood. That our jewelry label was honored with the German Design Award 2022 for our Wilderness collection in the Excellent Product Design category.
