STUDIO ORANGE
was founded in 2023 by me, Claudia Kästner.
I am an industrial designer, who studied, lived and worked in Darmstadt, NYC and Vienna.
Studio Orange is a design studio and jewelry workshop based in the southwest of Germany. The pieces are designed and crafted in the local surrounding on demand, working only with recycled and ecofair materials. The collection offers modern, unisex pieces with a great love for details, inspired by nature, art, and the urban.
MATERIALS
I only work with recycled metals, either 925 silver or 14K yellow and white gold.Some pieces are goldplated. The pearls i work with only come from one company based in French Polynesia and are ecofair transparent cultured.

DESIGNPROCESS
I really like to play with light and shadow, shapes, surfaces and structures, so this is why i use different materials, and will be experimenting with even more in the future.
I draw by hand, build mockups out of paper or cardboard, use clay or wax or whatever i like to work with to make a model.
Then my design is build with a CAD program, and 3D printed. When i have found the perfect shape, the waxprint is either casted directly, or, depending on the type of jewelry, casted out of a mold. The casted pieces come back me or a goldsmith i work together with, and are then finished, packed, and sent.
I only produce on demand, to really make a unique piece of jewelry.
WHAT ELSE?
There is no typical consumer or target group i have in my mind when designing pieces. I like the fact, that my pieces can be worn by everyone, no matter what bodytype, gender oder skincolor you have. My jewelry shall make you feel yourself, enlighten the inner beauty everyone has.
Studio Orange pieces can be worn at any occaision, whether you are working remote or go to an office, wether you go out in the evening or stay at home. It is always a good time to treat yourself well and feel that inner glow of yours while wearing a special piece.
