Christine Funke produces the presented glass elements above the open flame. In doing so, no two pieces resemble each other. The pattern and colour harmony of each individual piece is unique.

Bärbel Schlüter-Sabbah from Hanover presents you extraordinary pieces of jewellery. The artist uses sterling silver, stainless steel, jewellery wire and fishing line to make elegant and filigree pieces of jewellery. Sometimes the works are finished with gemstones, amber or pearls.
The jewellery designer and goldsmith creates works that could not be more different, each one unique. Her “Kerlchen” are small living beings – human or animal.

The “Joe’s Ringe” are cast in a lost mould, so that each pair of rings always looks different.
In her manufactory in Berlin, designer Monika Bahr makes bags and home accessories she designed herself by hand from pure wool felt.
