Marie-Louise Kristensen

Marie-Louise Christensen together with Koldinghus Museum have together created a new way to think of jewelry as a means of storytelling and individuality. The Jury says This is jewelry, exhibition design and storytelling as never seen before – all set in the context of play and fantasy for adults and children. Marie-Louise Christensen has created her own Utopia – a vision of allowing ourselves to be surprised again whilst at the same time giving the pieces of jewelry a bigger life in the museum and in the minds of the visitors through storytelling. This submission has us rethink jewelry and its purpose and could inspire other designers to think differently and further about their work.
