Guenter Wermekes
„Every material speaks its own language. Stainless steel talks of today, of building, future plans and the cool composure of our modern age. A diamond, on the other hand, conveys timeless quality, fire and passion. The designer is but a translator endeavouring to put the finishing touches, "le mot juste" to this mode of expression.“ G. Wermekes
Guenter Wermekes is a goldsmith and designer. He was the first to
combine stainless steel,
a material typical of our modern age, with the fieriest and most
precious material of all,
the diamond, in an entire jewellery collection.
An additional business activity of Guenter Wermekes comprises the design of products such as wrist watches and also door handles for various renowned manufacturers. In more recent times he has expanded his vision to the creation of free-standing sculptures as well as designing complete public squares in cities.
Today, following such distinctions as the "NRW Design Award", the
"Platinum Design of the Year"
and the "red dot Award for High Quality Design", Wermekes`works can
be found in private and
public collections both at home and abroad.
And on people who measure values in more than just material worth....
