After studying gold and silversmith and graduating as a master craftsman, Klaus Lohmeyer established Werkstatt:München in 1996. We are a community of craftsmen, fashion designers and artists aiming to combine old-school working techniques with the most careful attention to detail. Our target is to create long-lasting jewels and accessories that aren’t just roughly beautiful but also have a soul, being passed on from generation to generation.
Drawing inspiration from music subculture, philosophy, and art, Werkstatt:München is constantly seeking the perfect balance between meaning, beauty, and function while cherishing the heritage of making things by hand in the best possible way. Following our philosophy, every part of the composition is independently crafted, and we are constantly developing new ideas for links and closures to make our pieces comfortable to wear and sometimes invisible to the eye.
The passion for raw materials and traditional working techniques naturally brought us to develop a collection of handsewn accessories, including bags and wallets and cashmere garments embellished with silver details, clasps and closures, all made in our atelier. Our in-house production is a contemporary example of sustainable work. The respect of the environment supported by a conscious approach to consumption is one of our core themes.
Consequently, we work exclusively with natural products, meaning recycled metals and vegetable-tanned leathers, and in both – metal and leather – we avoid any chemical coverings of the surfaces and leave them in a natural state. (Therefore, you won’t find any plated pieces in our collection.)
With passion, taste, and subtle innovation, we design perfectly balanced jewellery handmade in Munich, Germany. We care for the details and respect long-lasting quality.
Enjoy discovering!
