ABOUT

Inspired by the approach of the great Bauhaus alumna and textile artist Anni Albers and the work of Alexander Calder (both of whom also made jewellery), the Wearable Art Series is all about repurposing materials, movement and change. The functional materials, yet delicate impermanence of form means that each piece adapts to the wearer – how you wear it becomes part of the jewellery itself.

BIOGRAPHY

The Swiss architect and designer Nina Baier-Bischofberger was raised in an art-filled world and trained at MIT and Columbia University. Her oeuvre is one of highly sophisticated form-making used to create comfortably liveable spaces. The mathematically precise parametrics of her architectural and interior work, together with husband Florian, is in turn a reflection of the elegant complexity natural geometries. Her wearable art objects have both the fleeting lightness of a first sketch and the formal power of bold statement jewellery that is nevertheless comfortably wearable; each piece the result of listening to what wants to be done with the material at hand.
