Unisex jewelry from Berlin. Form has no gender.

I never designed for a specific person. Not for a woman. Not for a man. I designed for a form.

When I hold a nut in my hand and think about how it sits on the body, I don't ask myself who will wear it. I ask how it moves. How it rests. How it works.

That is architecture. No space asks who enters it.


Unisex jewelry is made here in Berlin-Mitte - from industrial steel and brass nuts. Handcrafted. Limited. Numbered. Materials without gender.


I often think about why jewelry should have a gender at all.

Steel doesn't have one. Brass doesn't have one. A nut - the functional element that holds bridges together, connects machines, carries structures - doesn't have one.

Why should the object made from it?

In architecture, this question doesn't exist. A space is made for people. Not for a category of people. I apply this logic to every design.

Unisex jewelry from Berlin means for me no compromise in form. No adjustment to an expectation.


Only one question - how does it sit? How does it move? How does it hold? I sometimes ask myself when it happened. When jewelry started choosing sides.

Historically it was different. Rings, chains, bracelets - they were worn by everyone. By warriors and priests. By farmers and kings. The material determined status. Not gender.


At some point that changed. The market divided. The shelves divided. On the left, delicate things. On the right, massive ones. As if a body had to decide before it even chose.

I don't go along with that.

When I design a ring, I think about weight. About surface. About the way light falls on steel. About whether you feel it or forget it's there. Whether it breathes with the body or works against it.


Unisex jewelry from Berlin works because it makes no assumptions. It waits. It adapts. It belongs to whoever chooses it.

In my work as an architect I learned that the best spaces are not intrusive. They don't assert themselves. They simply exist. Large enough for everything that might happen. Small enough to create intimacy.

That is how I think about jewelry.


That is harder to achieve than it sounds.

I work on each design for a long time. Not because I'm uncertain. But because I know that an object meant to work for every body cannot have weaknesses. No point where it only works in one direction.


Handcrafted unisex jewelry from Berlin means responsibility to me. Each piece is made individually. Checked individually. Numbered individually. Not because that is a marketing promise. But because an object that belongs to no category can make no compromises.

Some ask me whether unisex design is harder than classic design. My answer: it is more honest.


It forces me to justify every decision. Why this proportion? Why this weight? Why this finish, this surface, this form?


That takes longer. But the result lasts longer.


Some wear one piece alone. Some combine. Some layer. Some buy the same piece for themselves and for someone else.


That is the moment I design for. Not the occasion. Not the gender. But the decision - this object. This body. Now.

Unisex jewelry for me is not compromise. It is clarity. Reduction. Precision. An object that works for every body that chooses it.


All pieces are produced in a limited number per year. They are handcrafted in Berlin-Mitte and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.


The wearer decides. Not the label.

Wear the form. Wear the idea.
