RÄTHEL & WOLF

From the RÄTHEL & WOLF Spring/Summer 2019 Collection "SINN"



Rathel & Wolf is a jewelry brand created by two designers, Sari Rathel and Ricarda Wolf, both of whom graduated from the Royal College of Art in London.

Rather than simply offering the simple jewelry that is currently in vogue, they offer a creative collection that can be described as "wearable contemporary art." This is new jewelry that harmonizes with the body and shows a new image. In particular, their ear items, which can be worn by people without pierced ears, have attracted a lot of attention in the industry, and they feature tension, clip, and hook-on structures that allow them to be worn in forms never before seen.











Ratzel and Wolf's creations are rooted in the exploration of forms that overturn jewelry design conventions and uncover new possibilities through existing perceptions of gender identity and the body.

The duo's love for design is evident in their various projects in the fields of architecture, art, and fashion. A few seasons after their debut, they collaborated with designer Paula Knorr to create statement jewelry pieces for her collection. Recently, their jewelry has been worn by singer Eve at the 2018 Grammy Awards, and their presentation at London Fashion Week was praised by Queen Elizabeth II, demonstrating their talent and demonstrating their potential.










The Spring/Summer 2019 collection was inspired by the German word "SINN" (sense), and was driven by concepts of feeling, sensation and perception, with materials designed to blend the body and decorations in harmony. The collection expresses the idea of a posthuman (a hypothetical future species or human evolution) that is redefining the "body" through rapidly emerging and potentially dangerous technologies such as prosthetic organs, regeneration, rapid life extension, mind transference, and cryonics.

Contesting the concept of the "human body"—the adaptation and refinement of biotechnological logic, the reshaping of the body influenced by scientific research and artistic experimentation—this collection is the result of repeated experiments in sculptural design that consider the physical sensations and weight of metal. The pieces are crafted from high-quality sterling silver with a luxurious polished finish, highlighting the powerful, design-led approach that defines the brand's spirit.
