Description

In her Playful Bracelet, Kirsten Sonne transforms colourful and quirky coins into a bright and eye-catching piece of jewelry. Every coin, with its deep colors and eccentric designs, is full of imagination and nostalgia. The asymmetrical shapes and irregular sizes add to the bracelet’s quirky and rebellious nature, making it one of a kind. 

About the artist

Kirsten’s work is always chic and individual, often witty and full of fun.. She understands balance and proportion. A former graphic designer, she has contemporary art and design as part of her background.  She is also inspired by high-end,  street fashion, and other jewellery, modern and ethnic.

‘Since I graduated from Danish Design School, I worked as graphic designer with non-commercial graphic design (book covers, leaflets, posters, cd-covers etc) from my studio in central Copenhagen. I love my profession, but as the computer changed the way of working – no more brushes, pencils, paper, ink – I slowly started missing the connection with the materials and working with my hands.’

Recycled materials inspire her and are the basis of her work. She makes everything by hand and never exactly repeats a piece, though she sometimes pursues themes and series. So, you can count on each piece being unique. Often she will make  special ranges of earrings, brooches, bracelets and necklaces  to fit Groundwork’s themes.

Living and working in Denmark, Kirsten has her own shop in Copenhagen . She sells through many art galleries, and in England also sells at the jewellery gallery @work in London.
