HVAD? ALGA er en ansvarlig smykkekollektion med syv sølvsmykker inspireret af den danske kystlinje og blæretangs formsprog.

HVORDAN? Henriette Frøslev Hjortshøj har udviklet smykkekollektionen med indsigter fra trendanalyser og formeksperimenter med tang. Smykkerne er skabt i Sterling sølv, et material, der sikrer 100 genanvendelighed. Sølvet, derrbruges, er 100% genanvendt og renset i Tyskland og smykkerne er støbt i Danmark af en dansk støberitekniker.

HVORFOR? Kollektionen er målrettet unge kvindelige forbrugere og skal oplyse dem om modeindustrien og de mere ansvarlige muligheder ved at tilbyde et lokalt og ansvarligt alternativ til den konventionelle asiatiske smykkeproduktion.

WHAT? ALGA is a responsible jewellery collection consisting of seven silver pieces inspired by the Danish coastline and the form language of bladderwrack seaweed.

HOW? Henriette Frøslev Hjortshøj has developed the design of the pieces based on insight from trend analyses, experiments and form development using seaweed. The jewellery pieces are made of Sterling silver, a material that ensures 100% recyclability. The silver used is 100% recycled and refined in Germany, and the pieces are cast by a Danish moulding technician.

WHY? The collection is targeted young female consumers and aims to enlighten them about the fashion industry and the more sustainable opportunities by offering a local and responsible alternative to the conventional Asian jewellery production.
