I instantly fell in love with this chunky silver metal bracelet by Finnish brand Mifuko which I spotted at the exhibition's E-werk site. The label's products combine traditional African workmanship with Scandinavian design. For their cast aluminium & brass jewellery collection made from recycled metal scraps they collaborated with Kenyan artisan Steve Kine who lives & works in the Kibera slum in Nairobi. Watch his amazing story here...
It's brilliant to see jewellery being approached this way with the ultimate aesthetic upcycling challenge to create something desirable from waste. I think Mifuko totally pulled it off, so much so that immediately after the show I went to buy the bracelet for myself. If you live in Berlin you can purchase the bracelet & more Mifuko jewellery here...
ROHstoff ❤ Mifuko
