Saskia Diez

Saskia Diez finds inspiration for her designs in very different things, such as a fleeting glance that lingers somewhere, a person whose movements and gestures are captivating, the shape and material of items of clothing or the specific mood of a movie, sometimes even errors, minor inconsistencies – all these inspire ideas in her. Spurred on by observations and associations such as these, she looks for suitable materials and links the ideas to the symbolic content, the purpose and function of the materials, until she creates something new from them. In this phase of the design process, graphics, proportion, elegance and a playful approach, as well as the way details work, play a central role for Saskia Diez. Throughout all of this, she is less interested in the pure value of the materials she uses and more in their authenticity. She looks for value that emanates from the beauty and feel of material, whether it is wood, glass, precious gems or gold.

 

Saskia Diez’s jewelry is sold in selected concept stores in cities including Berlin, Paris, Tokyo and New York. For those who wouldn’t mind doing without the journey, but not the jewelry, her designs can also be purchased from the online shop at www.saskia-diez.com In addition, since November 2008 the designer has been welcoming visitors to her showroom and studio on Geyerstrasse in Munich, where they can take a look at her designs. Aesthetic aspects which are decisive in her jewelry also influenced the interior design of the spaces she conceived in cooperation with Stefan Diez. They are reduced, generous and display charming details, i.e., the same understatement that also sets her jewelry apart.
