Niessing, lord of the rings

The Bauhaus lives again in Niessing jewelry: the refined simplicity of design copyright.

Germany is the country where he was born Bauhaus. And that rationalist design movement emerged from Walter Gropius and co-workers in the thirties, continues to be a source of inspiration throughout the world and, of course, also in Germany.
So a German brand which has over 140 years of history, in the seventies built his headquarters according to the dictates of the Bauhaus and cultivates a passion for that ingeniously simple design also for his jewelry. Niessing, a company based in Vreden (North Rhine-Westphalia, bordering the Netherlands) is indeed synonymous with design. Its round rings, with a simple diamond stopped within the band of gold is of an exemplary simplicity, but also very difficult to make. And gold is not any yellow metal at 18K.

A refined formula, Aura, allows Niessing to propose a gold that fades in different shades, or that has a color cast from green, pink, yellow, white, red. As in the version of his iconic ring once baptized Lucia. A name that alludes also to the ability to give light, with the brilliant cut diamond in full view, stopped with a sinuous variation of the golden band. Which also in this case is proposed in different shades of color. And that would have liked Gropius too, probably. Or in the Mirage collection, a game of illusions, super light gold and platinum jewelry, which received the German Design Award and the RedDot: Best of the Best: an almost hypnotic design that pays homage to geometry.

Solaris, Niessing’s hottest collection

//




Solaris: the new Niessing collection is inspired by the star that illuminates the Earth. To tell the sun’s irradiation through jewels, the German Maison has chosen to interpret gold through different shades, a bit like the perception of sunlight suggests, with shades tending to yellow or red according to the time of day, from sunset to sunrise. Next to the colors of gold, the other element that characterizes the Sun is sphericity. The gold pearls that make up the necklace, but also the rings with satin metal offer the pleasure of a sober and warm jewel at the same time.

In fact, Niessing stands out precisely for its ability to combine a clean design with the warmth of jewelry. Indeed, Niessing’s design philosophy is rooted in the Bauhaus. The great school that was the progenitor of modern design, born in the thirties, is still the inexhaustible source of inspiration. While many Maison draw from the same source, the Art Dèco, Niessing has chosen a more difficult path, but certainly more appreciated by those who love rational forms and at the same time an original creativity. Starting from the most famous jewel, of which we have already spoken, the patented Niessing Ring.

From the Bauhaus to the Niessing Cube




The Niessing Cube, the new jewel of the German Maison inspired by the design of the Bauhaus ♦ ︎

The Staatliches Bauhaus was a German art school operating from 1919 to 1933. In 2019, in fact, the hundredth anniversary of the foundation is celebrated. The Bauhaus was combined craftsmanship and fine arts, and was famous for its innovative design, which linked aesthetics and industrial product. The German Maison Niessing is the one that more than any other was inspired by that great school of design. Its jewels are ingeniously simples, like the famous Ring designed by Walter Wittek, since 2001 recognized as copyrighted work of art.

Now the German brand is launching another jewel inspired by the Bauhaus, Niessing Cube. It is a pendant for a necklace or earrings, which changes according to the way it is worn. It is composed of four rectangles of white or yellow gold interconnected to form a cuboid structure. When the Niessing Cube slips on the necklace or on the circles of the earrings, the geometric order “turns into dynamic chaos”. In short, a jewel between geometric volume and dice game, because the shape changes with the body movements of the wearer. Scommettiamo che sarebbe piaciuto anche a Walter Gropius.

Niessing celebrates 100 years of the Bauhaus




The Bauhaus interpreted by Niessing: luxury jewelry in the minimalist version of the historic design ♦ ︎

The Staatlitches Bauhaus was a school of architecture and art born in 1919 in Weimar, Germany. And it is not excessive to say that the Bauhaus marked the beginning of modern design. The idea of ​​combining functionality with simplicity, which together form a pleasant aesthetic, was born there. Closed the school with the advent of Nazism in 1935, the idea of ​​the Bauhaus is not dead. Indeed, 2019 celebrates the hundred years of that cultural revolution. And the echo is also heard in jewelry. Particularly thanks to the jewelery Maison that has always been the closest to that way of understanding design: Niessing.

Simplicity and beauty, in fact, are the paths taken by the German brand, famous in particular for its rings that hold a diamond, proposed 40 years ago and now redesigned. Niessing is openly inspired by the minimalism of the Bauhaus, according to which form follows function, and one does not forget to celebrate the century since the birth of the most famous design school in the world. For example with the Niessing Coil necklaces, with a soft metallic thread that is wrapped like an industrial product, punctuated by seven, nine or 11 diamonds. Or with stackable rings, perhaps with gold in different colors. Many ways to remember the Bauhaus, but above all to renew the lesson it has left. Giulia Netrese
