Ten years, eight collections, and a space that connects it all. With Collection #8, designer Johanna Gauder is not only celebrating the 10th anniversary of her eponymous jewelry label but also the reopening of her studio in Neukölln in February 2025, designed in collaboration with Christoph Hauf. The design: a symbiosis of jewelry and furniture design, of materials in their raw form, of precise craftsmanship and clear aesthetics. Gauder’s new collection is an echo of this space: 17 pieces of jewelry translate architectural lines into wearable forms – graphical, geometrical, restrained. Even after ten years, Johanna is open to new ideas without forgetting her design language. For the first time, she is working with pavé-set diamonds, set in recycled silver and gold. You can find the collection online, but it’s worth a visit: aluminum, glass, linoleum, Douglas fir wood, no lacquers, no finishes. Instead, the new surfaces are allowed to take on a patina — to bear the marks of everyday life. “I didn’t want a space that simply exhibits, but one that evolves,” says Johanna. An idea that is also continued in the collection. The newly designed studio on Schillerpromenade is not only a place for presentation and sales, but also for meetings and exchanges. Conversations, then ideas, then designs are created at the large table. It’s always about sustainable design with attitude – in form, material, and content.
