Skall Studio debuts art-like accessories at Copenhagen Fashion Week

Handmade in Denmark, the showpieces presented by the Skall Studio this morning instantly caught Vogue Scandinavia’s attention. Exclusively made for the show, the jewellery, bags, and brooches were more reminiscent of objets d'art than accessories. Speaking to the Skall sisters, we got a better insight into what prompted the idea to expand their repertoire and create the pieces.

Inspired by the brand name and logo, Skall – which means shell in Danish – the bags were 3D printed in organic shapes from below the sea. The handles in clear glass twisted and turned as they stretched over the conch-like sculptural shapes slung across bent elbows or firmly held in hand. The illusion of wearable seashells was completed by draping the printed bodies of the bags in natural robe.

Speaking to sisters and co-founders Julie and Marie Skall, they tell us, “We have always been fascinated by the organic shape of the seashell, also referring to our family name Skall.” Elaborating on the process of material exploration – glass was chosen due to the ability to reuse and prolong the life of the material, “At the same time craftsmanship and local production have always been essential to us, so we truly feel that our DNA is reflected in these unique bags.”

The jewellery was inspired by the beach and the organic forms of shells and sea glass. Bracelets, necklaces and earrings – each and every piece was shaped by hand or through the use of specially made tools, resulting in one-of-a-kind jewellery unique in their expression. The brooches were made of stained glass and inspired by gardening in Southern Europe – The shape reminiscent of flowers and leaves.

In conclusion; the exquisite artistry of these accessories are truly eye-catching:
