„LIGHT GIVES MY WORKS THEIR IMPRESSION.” (MARC MANN)

FIRST CAME RED LIGHT.

In 2002, as a young man, I was working on minimalist LED lights, and, simultaneously, I designed a necklace made of old glass bottles. One day, while waiting at a red light, a sudden thought struck me – why not merge these two designs: illuminated jewelry made of old glass and LEDs?

And so, the jeweLIGHTS came to life.

 

THEN CAME A BOOK.

My very first creation was featured in the prestigious International Design Yearbook.

Encouraged by this „lucky punch“ – and inspired by a collection of aesthetically captivating old glass materials I had discovered – I designed an entire jeweLIGHTS collection in 2006.

 

TODAY IT’S DIVERSITY.

Today, my studio houses an archive of carefully collected, found, and intentionally sought glass materials, waiting to be transformed into new creations.

The endless possibilities of artistic light jewelry continue to excite me. I design pieces both compact and delicate – sharp-edged and softly rounded.

Life is diverse. People are diverse. And so are my creations.

„EVERY TIME I FOLLOWED MY HEART, THINGS FELL INTO PLACE.” (MARC MANN)

Since 2002 I have dedicated myself to the jeweLIGHTS – the last few years exclusively.
