Design Cooperations/Artists
Part of the Köchert family and company tradition since time immemorial has been for famous artists to drop by at our office on Neuer Markt and create unmistakeable pieces of jewellery in fertile collaborative projects with the master goldsmiths working at our studio.
Hubert Schmalix – Irony without pathos.
“In the 1960s and ‘70s, nearly every artist was creating jewellery as well. I wonder why this is no longer the norm today. It’s very exciting to work in a different métier, like jewellery, ceramics or glass.”
Feathers to Adorn – and Adore
For Köchert – the Imperial and Royal Court jewellers to the Habsburgs – it was somewhat of a challenge to transform the delicate feather into something precious and enduring.
Xenia Hausner – Left, Right
For our company, the internationally known artist Xenia Hausner designed earrings entitled “left, right”.
Julia Landsiedl – Endemites
Julia Landsiedl reinterprets the traditional concept of the parure – a set of matching jewellery consisting of a necklace, earrings and brooch – in a refreshing, contemporary way.
Boris Podrecca – Basilea brooch
Boris Podrecca’s sensitivity in the choice of materials and colours is also reflected in his jewellery designs for the house of Köchert.
Eva Petrič – “Chromosomes in Love”
Love is the focus of this jewellery edition – love exists on all levels, in all colours and in all forms.
