A universe of enchanted craft. Founded in Copenhagen in 1963 by artist and goldsmith Arje Griegst, the house of Griegst is a living archive of transformation — where jewelry flows like sculpture, and solid materials take on an almost liquid life. The studio has long stood apart — rooted in tradition yet radically its own. Known for a style that defied the rigid modernism of his time, Arje Griegst’s work merges myth with material, drawing inspiration from the Baroque, the Orient, and ancient artefacts. His work defied the formal language of his time. Where others sought symmetry and restraint, he followed intuition and form’s potential for metamorphosis. His pieces feel dreamlike — at once mischievous and philosophical. With his mastery of the lost-wax casting technique (cire perdue), Arje brought precious metals into a fluid state, coaxing gold and silver into forms that feel grown rather than made. Rings unfold like shells or flames, goblets bloom like sea creatures. His practice extended far beyond jewelry — into glassware, flatware, chandeliers, and objects of art — always blurring the line between the functional and the fantastical.
Today, the house is led by his son Noam Griegst alongside partner Amalie Adrian. As creative custodians, they continue to evolve the Griegst universe — reissuing archival works from original casts while inviting new interpretations through collaboration and material exploration. Under their guidance, they honor Griegst’s legacy as both heritage and horizon.
This is not simply a legacy brand. Griegst is a living cosmos — where the poetic meets the practical, where high craft reveals deeper truths, and where every object holds the trace of the hand that made it. The house continues to be dedicated to Arje Griegst’s supreme artistry and mischievous yet philosophical approach to high-end art.
