Pekka Hirvonen

Designer Pekka Hirvonen has been designing jewelry for Lapponia since 2002. His design language strives for simplicity. Curves and lines create a harmonious entity, but maintaining its sensitivity is very challenging for the production. The forms can be described as graceful and aerodynamic. The same kind of forms can be found in nature and therefore they appeal to the human eye. In addition to aesthetics and excellent goldsmith skills, Hirvonen also emphasises the practicality of jewelry. Pekka Hirvonen designs beautiful everyday jewelry with elegance and timelessness and his work can be characterized by its wearability.

“My aim as a designer is to create beautiful things that express the personality of the wearer with the jewelry that he or she is wearing.” It is very important for Hirvonen that jewelry will have a story, a future history of its own. The pieces exist for a very long time and can be worn with many generations.

When I design jewelry, I visualize the person wearing it. A piece of jewelry must feel comfortable against the skin and it should harmonize with the person's anatomy. The idea is very often expressed clearly only when the jewelry is worn. Lapponia jewelry is designed down to the last detail. In addition to form, its fascination lies in its name and the story hidden in its shape.
