FLOW RING - 18K guld

“I mange år havde jeg en ambition om at designe en signaturkæde. En ven til dit vedhæng eller et statement-smykke i sig selv. Et evigtværk i to betydninger, led efter led, år efter år. Min karrieres eftermæle.

En signaturkæde af individuelle led med hver deres skønhed og karakter, afhængige af hinanden for at skabe en uafbrudt række af varig styrke. Et symbol på de forenede kræfter som kræves af os, for at vi kan stå stærkt i vores evigt foranderlig verden.

Lige fra min klassiske guldsmedeuddannelse I Danmark, hvor jeg lærte at håndlave kæder i forskellige klassiske udformninger, til min tid i New York, hvor jeg tilegnede mig håndværketbag vævede kæder, har jeg altid haft en passion for gentagelsens rytme. Tilstanden af flow. Forandringen af klassiske elementer i nye dimensioner.

Fascinationen af utæmmet natur, hvor flydende linjer bliver til vilkårlige gentagelser og naturlige materialer forædles til menneskeskabte former.

En manipulation af ædelmetallige til punktet inden det overgiver sig. Et konstrueret flow med funktion. Øreringe, ringe og armbånd forbindes indbyrdes i en ny orden.”

MUlll is a celebration marking my extensive journey within the boutique and workshop on Store Regnegade in Copenhagen. The name MUlll is a creation born out of the transformation of letters into a pattern, notably featuring my initial "M." 

The repetitive lines symbolize the passage of three decades.

My fondness for flowers is apparent, yet my appreciation extends beyond a mere obsession with nature, including the sea. Gardening is a passion of mine, and I always keep a fresh bouquet of flowers nearby. Contrary to the typical romantic themes found in jewelry, my inspiration is drawn from dry, preserved flowers, and seashells. The resulting shapes emerged organically and unintentionally, reflecting a natural aesthetic.

Within the realm of MUlll, fish have assumed significance in my artistic expression. Influenced by my upbringing, where my mother collected figurative goldfish in various forms, from large table pieces to delicate pendants crafted in gold, silver, and enamel. This combination, coupled with my own journey as an individual and as being a Pisces, encapsulates and summarizes the story  of MUlll. 

Seventeen years ago, my inspiration struck as I delved into the ancient signature rings at Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen and the more recent rings that belonged to families with history. This tradition of engraving, a practice spanning Europe and tracing its roots back to ancient Egypt, unravels the stories of the owners and their families.

As the dynamics of power and importance evolve over time, a growing number of families are adopting this tradition, ushering in a new era. What began as a modest collection of nine rings, each unique in its design, ranging from simple silver engravings to elaborate projects with stones, has evolved into an endless array of possibilities. Classic stones intricately engraved and embellished with gold have emerged as signature pieces within my collection—each one bespoke and personalized. There is a contemporary resurgence in the desire for a sense of belonging, transforming this tradition into a fashionable statement.

These rings, carefully chosen, often mark significant moments in one's journey whether it be a special occasion during the formative years or a celebration of life's milestones.

"Name it" represents a contemporary story of connection and belonging. This modern tradition involves the use of letters or symbols to encapsulate the essence of your loved ones, their affiliations, or even your own identity. Wearing a necklace with a pendant close to your heart holds profound significance for many—it's a meaningful gesture that goes beyond mere adornment. It serves as a cherished token, encapsulating the pivotal moments of your life. In essence, "Name it" is more than just a piece of jewelry; it's a timeless token that resonates throughout a lifetime.
