Danni Schwaag — de

Tactile and visual Jewellery

Danni Schwaag transforms materials into captivating compositions, revealing a world where textures and colours boldly respond to one another. Her creative process is rooted in spontaneity and the quest for balance, guided by coincidences and surprises. Nature, architecture, and art intertwine to give birth to jewellery that embodies a tactile and visual exploration, where the connection between touch, emotion, and aesthetics is delicately unveiled.

The artist embraces mother-of-pearl, a material with iridescent reflections, which she combines with unexpected elements such as wood, copper, or galalith. Added to these are enamel, threads, and found objects, carefully assembled to bring depth and visual contrast. This mosaic of materials creates a chromatic harmony where pastel shades, vibrant accents, and rawer tones intertwine. The surprising combinations and meticulous finishes enhance the sculptural character of each piece of jewellery.

Born in Germany, Danni Schwaag studied at the University of Applied Arts in Trier, in the Gemstone and Jewellery Design department of Idar-Oberstein, from 2004 to 2008. In 2006, she participated in an Erasmus programme at Escola Massana in Barcelona, enriching her creative approach. Prior to that, she trained as a jeweller in Münster, where she worked after completing her apprenticeship. This eclectic journey has allowed her to develop a unique artistic language, rooted in experimentation and material reinvention.

We had the pleasure of exhibiting Danni Schwaag’s work during the Foam & Fuel exhibition in April 2022, alongside Nelly Van Oost, where their creations engaged in a dialogue around the sensuality of materials and the artisanal gesture.
