Currently on display at Galerie Rob Koudijs in Amsterdam is a new exhibition featuring the works of Dutch designer Ted Noten. For the first time in his career, Noten deliberately combines the domains of design, visual arts and applied arts, that are equally represented in the collection of assemblages, necklaces, rings and bracelets.

Ted Noten creates compelling, high-profile jewelry that strays from the beaten path of accessories design. The Amsterdam-based designer creates conceptual pieces including pearl adorned mice, pill-shaped wedding rings that are swallowed rather than worn, brooches made from a cut-up Mercedes-Benz and animals cast in acrylic handbags. As his manifesto declares: “Jewelry must be shamelessly curious.”
