Bauhaus philosophy: a source of inspiration for Icy Mouse jewelry

The Bauhaus school, founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius in Germany, made history by blurring the lines between art and craft. Its revolutionary vision held that a utilitarian object could become a work of art, and that aesthetics should be intrinsically linked to function. The movement disrupted established traditions, advocating a fusion of disciplines where architects, artists, and craftsmen collaborated to create designs that were both beautiful and practical.
This philosophy continues to inspire me deeply in my creative process. As a self-taught craftswoman, I make concrete jewelry that is not just ornamental: it is a work that questions our perception of materials and our relationship to matter and pays homage to the modernist heritage.
In every piece I design , the spirit of Bauhaus is present, blending art and craft to challenge conventions and reinvent forms.
By exploring this paradox, I wish to remind people that aesthetics can be accessible, tangible, and that a piece of jewelry can be as much an object of art as an object to wear.
