Earrings, in-house design Jakob Bengel, Idar-Oberstein, Germany | Early 1930s - Jakob Bengel

Jakob Bengel

  • Earrings, in-house design Jakob Bengel, Idar-Oberstein, Germany | Early 1930s
  • Yellow and black galalith, nickel-plated brass; made on machines and by hand
  • The design of these earrings, dating from 1933, follows the Bauhaus philosophy in its clear geometry and minimalist form, yet at the same time, in terms of colour and expression, it already anticipates the Pop Art aesthetic of the 1960s and 1970s. Astonishing!
L 5.5 cm

L 3 cm (pendants only)

W 2.5 cm

D 0.25 und 0.5 cm
