About

Michala Eken

My jewellery is handcrafted with care in my workshop and studio in Linnésgade 27 by Nørreport in central Copenhagen.

Passionate about jewellery since my gothy teen years, my jewellery designs carry connotations to inspirations collected from my everyday life: urban objects, typography, fine arts and post rock music.

Using my background as an architect, I play with geometry, contrasts and proportion, sculpting each piece with a significant aesthetic and poetic expression that renders them timeless, functional and unique at the same time.

Characterizing my jewellery is the sign-like character, raw lines and a clear, geometric design along with the sculptural and ornamental play with contour, shape, and proportion.

Duality is a recurring motif in my jewellery work as the archetypal meeting between two elements – identical or different – expressing opposition and contrast or balance and connection.

My jewellery is often assembled from several parts or contains moving elements combining my love for both the functional and the playful.

I'm seeking a simple, timeless and usable jewellery design, wearable in many contexts and developed with love for the classic-modern Scandinavian silver tradition, I was brought up with.
