“My aim in design is to create objects beyond their function, products that stimulate our senses and reflect humanity. I love to play with sensuality in textures and poetry in concepts. I believe that the human need lies beyond basic commodity, beyond visual charms; products are there to be used, to be touched and handled. Design is communication, reflecting the joy of life.”
Verena Schreppel specialises in jewellery and product design with a poetic, conceptual approach and a fine sense for structures. She was educated at the Academy of Fine Arts Hamburg, where she studied in the Studio of Glen Oliver Löw and at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid at the faculty of fine arts.
She was trained by and worked for the Czech glass artist Jan Adam in his Studio in Hamburg, gained experience in the interior design department of Peter Schmidt Studios in Hamburg and joined the team at Studio Dror in New York in 2005, before founding Studio Verena Schreppel in Hamburg.
She began the development of her unique jewellery designs during her studies. She enjoys working with various transformations of material in order to create new aesthetics.
In 2010 she began to focus on jewellery design, working on open projects and enjoying Berlin as the new location of her studio.
