I've been a goldsmith for twenty years. Every day, at work and after. One question sits above everything: how do things feel when you carry them on you, twenty-four hours a day? A ring, a chain, a bracelet. I've been working on that question since I learned the trade. At some point it stopped being about jewellery. A cup you hold every morning. A bag you carry for years. Same question, different scale.
Silver Cup
An espresso cup, shaped by hand in the workshop in Dornbirn. An object made to be used. On request.

CLMP · Bring your own board
An aluminium leg with the logic of a screw clamp. It holds any board from 0 to 45 mm: stone, wood, glass, even an old radiator. No glue, no tools, no instructions. Developed with Julius Häusler and Simon Voppichler, turned in Vorarlberg. Designed by Michael Rüscher.

“Anyone can do it. No instructions, no tools, no thinking. To me, that is exactly what good design is.”
A plain plank, outside.
Granite, marble, wood. The same legs.
The Wallet
Folded from a single piece of fine calfskin. No seam to come undone, nothing to add bulk. On request.
Black calfskin, one piece.
Jetpack
I take old Rimowa suitcases and strip them back to what really makes sense: the lightness of the aluminium shell. Then I rebuild them so you can wear them as a backpack. That's the Jetpack.
