Pendant 'Otto Millimetri d' Amore' by Otto Künzli

‘Eight Millimetres of Love’ is a humorous comment on that notorious symbol of love, the heart. 
A unique opportunity to buy this 18 kt yellow gold pendant, designed by Otto Künzli!

The pendant seemed to be completely sold out, but since part of the production was at Dubbelop, it turned out that there was still a hidden treasure in the studio.

We decided to make it a warm Valentine's price for those last pendants.

Designer; Otto Künzli 
Made by Dubbelop for CHP Jewelry

Otto Künzli (1948) is born in Switzerland and trained as a goldsmith in Munich, Germany. He revolutionised modern jewelry design and is regarded as ‘one of the most intelligent and at the same time most critical artists in the world of jewelry’ (Ralph Turner: The New Jewelry, 1985/1994).
Over the course of his involvement with jewelry, spanning around 45 years, Otto Künzli achieved a unique status as an artist and pioneer, and also as an author and teacher, with widespread international influence. Renowned artists such as Karen Pontoppidan (Konstfack, Stockholm), Karl Fritsch (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology), David Bielander and Lisa Walker are amongst the graduates of the jewelry class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, which Künzli has been directing since 1991 as successor to Hermann Jünger. He has been a major influence in international jewelry work, especially during the 1980s and 1990s, and is well known for his use of social commentary and his unique approach to jewelry making.His work is meticulously crafted, with studious attention to materials, and it is the intensity of this working process that provides each work with a powerful message.
