The pop of Cada

Published on December 26, 2022

Among pop culture and art: the jewels of Cada, Maison in Munich ♦ ︎

Creativity, Art, Design, Anarchy. The initials of these four words form the acronym Cada, Maison in Munich founded by Annette Kopp, a goldsmith expert, and by Herbert Kopp, with a career as a painter. The couple founded the jewelry store in 1986 and has become a meeting point for designers and creatives from the German city. Herbert Kopp used his artistic ability to conceive jewels that reflect the philosophy of the eighties and nineties, for example with the Love collection.

Thirty years later, Herbert continues to design jewelry in the studio in central Munich. They are jewels that bring together elements of pop culture or are simply variants of classical forms. Not only that: for design enthusiasts the Maison has also introduced jewelry designed by artists such as Aaron Curry, Andy Hope and Jonathan Meese.

The young design of Saskia Diez and her small Maison in Munich ♦ ︎
In Munich, inside the Pinakothek der Moderne, is the Die Neue Sammlung. It is one of the most important museums of design and applied arts in Germany and in Europe. Not only that: founded in 1907, it was probably the first in the world exclusively dedicated to design. With this background behind it, Saskia Diez designs jewelry, but also other accessories, with the aim of creating something original, but also accessible. Which is then what design is intended for.

Another aspect of his work is to design lightweight jewelry that does not transform the woman into a Christmas tree. Thin, but very refined volumes, without being bulky or too showy. The necklaces are long but light chains, sometime without a closure. Even prices are accessible for a young audience, the target for the designer. Saskia Diez sells throughout Europe, but also in Japan, China and the United States, a sign that its light design also appeals beyond the borders of Bavaria.

Back Inhorgenta, with a thousand exhibitors and a competition that teases the brands ♦ ︎

In Munich, Inhorgenta returns (22 – 25 February), with about a thousand exhibitors coming from over 40 countries and guests from over 70 countries. For Italy, for example, there are 70 brands present, including important Maison, such as Annamaria Cammilli, Crivelli, Nanis or Marco Bicego.

Among the novelties of the 2019 edition is the renewed Inhorgenta Award, dedicated to the world of jewelry and watch design. In the race there are three candidates for each of the seven of the eight categories. A difficult selection, given that the applications for participation were 140, a record. The introduction of a new category has also contributed to the success: Design Newcomer of the Year, which seems to have ignited the interest of several exhibitors, including a jewelery store in Mauritius, the Indian Ocean islands.
In the Fine Jewelry category, for example, German producers Gellner and Hans D. Krieger and the Spanish brand Facet Barcelona were selected, while for the Design Newcomer of the Year category the selected brands are Alessa Joosten, Karin Heimberg and Gitta Geschmück. It’s suspense for the winners. Cosimo Muzzano
