Schmuck 2013 – EXPO ‘Classic of the Modern : Warwick Freeman’ – Munich (DE)
Klassiker der Schmuck 2013
Warwick Freeman , New Zeland
Each year at this special exhibition one designer is honoured in a retrospective called « Classic of the Modern ». This time it´s the turn of New Zealand designer Warwick Freeman. His pieces are characterised by a reduced, very clear idiom and a particular reference to natural forms.
« Warwick Freeman makes jewellery that has an air of distilled simplicity, a considered response to the imagery and aesthetic of our collective culture, jewellery that speaks about the complexities of living in Aotearoa New Zealand. » (The Arts Foundation – Warwick Freeman biography available too)
