About
Why this artist matters now
Gijs Bakker is a Dutch jeweler and industrial designer whose practice interrogates the boundaries between adornment, utility, and sculpture. Working across jewelry, furniture, and functional objects, he develops spare, geometric forms that challenge conventional notions of wearability and use. His work emerged from the conceptual frameworks of post-war Dutch design and continues to examine material restraint and structural clarity as primary means of expression.
