Background
Designers Katja Kjems and Marie With focus on the aesthetic lifespan of silver and leather.
The beautiful traces of time and use
Through form, techniques and expression, the project celebrates the traces left by time and the chance aspects of hand-crafted objects. The resulting narrative creates a closer bond between user and design. This collection of jewellery and bags was created in a collaboration with The Upcycl, which provided some of the materials, including the leather.
