Typhaine Le Monnier

We are pleased to invite you to the exhibtion "Playtime" by Typhaine Le Monnier as part of the exhibition programme Idar-Oberstein schmückt sich:

Typhaine Le Monnier graduated from Trier University of Applied Sciences at the Idar-Oberstein campus in 2015 with a remarkable jewellery collection. Since then, she has continued to develop her work from her studio in Lisbon and has exhibited her work worldwide. Today she presents the results of a three-month working residency at the Jakob Bengel Foundation: "Playtime". The term encapsulates the artist's approach to jewellery design, which balances innovative thinking with playful experimentation and challenges conventional notions of wearability and adornment in jewellery design.

In addition to the wonderful opportunity of using the Foundation's machinery and facilities, she is currently producing and researching Galalith, a synthetic casein-based plastic that is often used as a decorative element in the Bengel jewellery collection. She is using new technologies such as laser cutting to develop a new approach inspired by the emblematic designs of the collection.

Opening times: Tues- Sun 10.00- 17.00 h.
