OFFFHAND is a design label based in Dornbirn, Austria, founded by Michael Rüscher.
OFFFHAND is creativity without limits. OFFFHAND is a manner of living.
With roots in traditional goldsmithing, OFFFHAND is more than a jewelry brand – it’s a creative lab where craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation merge into something bold. Designed for a new generation that leaves outdated rules behind, OFFFHAND knows no boundaries – in materials, in methods, or in mindset.
Reviving old techniques
Skills like interlocking, welding, forging, and hand-casting are not just preserved at OFFFHAND – they’re transformed. We translate these techniques into contemporary, precise, and expressive jewelry. Each piece becomes a radical statement: different, uncompromising, unique. OFFFHAND proves that traditional craftsmanship and modern technologies don’t have to compete – they can create something entirely new.
Jewelry for everyone – but not for all
OFFFHAND breaks conventions on purpose. We don’t make elitist jewelry – we create powerful designs for a new spirit: bold, unconventional, and full of personality. Our pieces express attitude and individuality – each one a progressive statement. We believe in the democratization of design: high-quality craftsmanship should be accessible to anyone who seeks the extraordinary, without compromise.
Sustainability at OFFFHAND
OFFFHAND sees sustainability not as a trend, but as a responsibility. With a CO₂-neutral online shop, resource-efficient production, and digital inventory management, we bring together craftsmanship and smart processes. Our pieces are created in a system that is conscious by design: less energy use, less material waste, no paper. Standardized workflows and digital tools allow for more efficient production – without compromising individuality, quality, or style. Sustainability isn’t a feature. It’s part of our design.
