Four Opening

Four are opening FOUR the 4th of September

A new gallery, workshop and boutique is opening in Linnéstaden in Gothenburg. Jewellery and craft from twelve international designers and jewellers will be shown. Welcome to see a wide spectrum of what is to be found in jewellery, design and craft.

FOUR is Karin Roy Andersson, Ellen Jacobsen Holvik, Hanna Liljenberg and Malin Lövgren. All four has graduated from HDK - School of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg. "We are a quartet aiming to create a space with an atmosphere of exclusivity, personality, and professionalism.” Other than their own work they will be exhibiting and selling pieces from selected jewellers and craftsmen. “We are hoping to attract visitors with an interest in art, fashion and craft, but also customers looking for an option, or a complement to that what is now to be found in jewellery stores in Gothenburg."

Tools, machines, metals, pieces of wood, plastics, glue a flower decorated coffee set is now filling up the space at Nordhemsgatan 74. These are indispensable things in the workshop of FOUR.

White walls and white ceiling, a big red sofa and an old desk that Malin struggled for a long time to get into a car and then through the door to the studio - that is the visitors first sight. If you are lucky Blenda, Ellen's gorgeous French bulldog will come running, or sliding over the floor to welcome you.

Since April Malin and Ellen has been renovated what used to be a shoe store. They have been painting the walls and tearing out the floor with Hanna and Karin posting encouraging comments on Facebook. Hanna from Tokyo where she was an exchange student at Hiko Mizuno College of Jewelry and Karin doing an internship at Gallery Klimt02 in Barcelona.

“Now we are all gathered and we are looking forward to an autumn of early mornings, late nights, coffee breaks, small talks and a lot of jewellery and visitors.”
