Open Archive’s objective is to bring attention to the creative process behind the final product. Elevating the material through it’s design, handcrafting and conceptual investigation. We open up disciplines via research and exploration to form new connections and understandings. Using this knowledge we create timeless, archive-worthy jewelry that is expressive and inspires further research.
002-ULM
002-ULM Collection pays homage to Dieter Ram's vision and legacy. Whose innovations extended beyond electronics to furniture, becoming icons of modernism.
Dieter Rams was a pioneer of Functionalist design. He shaped modern aesthetics with his devotion to simplicity, usability, and logic. Influenced by the Bauhaus and ULM schools, he believed that good design is as little design as possible - a philosophy reflected in his iconic work for Braun and Vitsoe. Rams rejected ornamentation in favor of clean lines and practical elegance, defining a new era of industrial design. His commitment to clarity, honesty, timelessness and functionality never wavered and his legacy is not just in objects, but in a vision - one that continues to shape how we interact with the world around us.
001-URFORM
001-Urform Collection observes, shares and transforms Karl Blossfeldt’s botanical studies into long lasting silver forms.
The Urform collection is inspired by Karl Blossfeldt´s study of form within nature. He photographed plant surfaces in magnified detail with different objective approaches, emphasizing on their structural features which transformed those botanical specimens into illustrations, analogies and abstractions. Our rings are handcrafted in Silver Ag925 following all the standards of fine jewelry to highlight the quality and properties of the metal.
