Spanish
jewellery designer Helena Rohner was born in the Canary Islands and
later studied at London School of Economics. However it was a
fortuitous trip to Florence that ignited her interest in jewellery
making. Rohner’s jewellery is striking for its simplicity of line
and purity of design and she likes to combine unusual materials such
as wood or porcelain with sterling silver to create necklaces, rings
and earrings with a uniquely contemporary look.
Rohner
also designs a selection of homewares including oriental style
ceramic tea sets, organic shaped vases and table lamps that pay
reference to Scandinavian design classics from the forties and
fifties. Jewellery still remains Rohner’s main focus however,
“Jewellery is a question of light, the light you add to your body.”
