PHILOSOPHY ANDMEMORIES

I am fascinated by the inherent beauty of timeless objects. While trends come and go like the seasons, exclusive materials find a home in new shapes and uses. Or not. I see it as my mission to find forgotten objects of particular craftsmanship and quality. Silverware, pieces of traditional embroidery, crystal glasses from Venice–Objects like these have unusual quality and tell stories about lives lived in other decades and centuries. Today they wander around the shelves of second-hand stores or wait at the bottom of a mysterious bin at a flea-market booth. Dust and water leave their imprint while memories quietly fade away. 
Andmemories is the project in which I give voice to the forgotten treasures from the past. I open up a stage for trades and crafts from the past and let them come to life again. All my editions are unique and limited to the amount of supplies available. The last few metres of a certain fabric, the only silverware found and the last pieces of an embroidery come together for one final show with only a select few acts. Each piece and every series is unique–limited to time and space.

Fabricated in the simplicity of a summer’s day at the beach and manufactured with classic deck chair cotton, this bag tells the story of long, carefree days at the beach.

Each bag is unique and fabricated in Switzerland.

ARAZZO CLUTCH ANDMEMORIES

It holds space for notebooks, magazines, sunglasses, purse and, of course, the lipstick, just like grandma used to have it.

SILVER ANDMEMORIES

Silver turns Mondays into little Sundays. Decorate your wooden table with a bouquet of wildflowers, porcelain plates and a simple set of silverware. This product comes in sets of four: A knife, fork, soup spoon and coffee spoon combined from different editions of silver and turned into a new family. These objects speak of old hope chests, in which young women used to collect silver until their wedding day. Some of these pieces lived through several centuries and households, attended funerals, birthdays and weddings until they fell into a drawer in a thrift store. We find and polish them, combine them in stylish sets of four for the modern day use.

This Product is from all over Europe. Each set is unique and put together in Zurich.
