Between human intuition and digital logic, jewellery emerges that gestures toward the future – while remaining grounded in the present.

A Design Process with a Stance – VON ELISE

Elise Pierer, goldsmith and founder of the label »VON ELISE«, explores the boundaries between digital concept and artisanal execution in her new collection. Beginning with the question “How would AI express itself as a piece of jewellery?”, she initiated a dialogue between human and machine. AI-generated forms served as a starting point, but the creative decisions remained firmly with the designer. The result: jewellery that blends the precision of craftsmanship with an openness to new ways of thinking – delicate, distinctive, and confident.

Sestra Store – A Stage for Individuality

The »Sestra Store«, one of the first multibrand stores in Graz, brings together international fashion and local design. Exclusive garments and accessories celebrate diversity and style – with a focus on quality and sustainability. Amid this curated mix, »VON ELISE« adds a compelling narrative to the »Design in the City« showcase: a reflection on creativity in the digital age, on inspiration versus decision – and on the enduring power of craftsmanship in the here and now.
