French jewellery designer and artist Christophe Burger has designed
jewellery for Lapponia since 1989. After taking a degree in English language and
literature he went on to study jewellery design and goldsmithery at the Strasbourg School
of Applied Arts. Burger has been making unique pieces of jewellery and objets d'art at his
own studio workshop, in Colmar, France since 1977. Burger's design is a skilful combination of French avant-garde and
Finnish craftsmanship. The design language of his jewellery is geometric, often
highlighted using diamonds or colourful gemstones. For Christophe Burger, jewellery is a
clear means of communication. This is reflected in the apt names of the pieces and their
carefully contemplated design. The name of each piece and the associations it creates are
an intelligent mental game for each individual. A game in which the artist challenges us
to take part. A piece of jewellery conveys individualism, it is like the language of
social interaction between people.
