Two worlds: Japan and Europe. Two artists: Kazumi Nagano and Michael Becker. And a single endeavor: namely to create fantastic jewelry that does not exist a second time.

We would like to invite you to an exhibition where, on the one hand, Kazumi Nagano poetically develops Japanese origami into a refined, highly differentiated art form that plays with transparency.

A brilliant counterpoint to this is provided by Michael Becker. An exceptional German artist, in whose strictly geometric forms many beautiful, striking and expressive details unfold at second glance.
