Karin Ferner’s Jubel
In 2024, Svenskt Tenn celebrated its 100th anniversary, and for Christmas that same year Karin Ferner created the brass collection Jubel – a series of decorative festive objects that radiated celebration, joy and festivity.
Ferner designed the collection’s candle cuffs with the ambition of conveying the feeling of fireworks and sparkling champagne. Without first making sketches, she developed prototypes by cutting sheet metal by hand, allowing her to achieve the right expression in the decorations.
The collection’s tree topper was a clear example of her ability to unite history, tradition and the present.
— For the tree topper, I used an old folk technique. To make the decorations shimmer, I cut thin strips into the metal and then twisted them a few turns. This allowed the material to catch the light beautifully and gave it greater depth.
