Lone Løvschal

Silversmith

Relishing the challenge of silver

  • Lone's designs are often inspired by the sea
  • She particularly loves working on spoons
  • After her master's in London she opened her own studio

Lone Løvschal trained as a silversmith in Copenhagen from 1997, learning from the masters at the Georg Jensen company for four years. She went on to study in London, where she got her master’s degree from the Royal College of Art. “I have always wanted to work with my hands,” she says. “I still remember the first object I made, it was a strawberry spoon.” Denmark has a strong heritage in silversmithing, which could feel a heavy burden to carry. But Lone is not intimidated; if anything, she feels empowered by it. She opened her own studio in 2007 and now is working full time on her own designs, mainly one-off or custom-made precious jewellery and silverware pieces, but also smaller series of jewellery designs for well known international brands.

What’s more interesting, making unique pieces or mass production?
By using organic and fluid forms, curved elegant lines and a strong graphic language, I create objects for the senses. I find great pleasure in designing for mass production as well as limited series or one-offs, and the way a piece of work is made is always of great interest to me.
Is there a particular object you relish working on?
I love working on spoons. Spoons have a special place in my heart due to their friendly and feminine character, but also because they represent everyday life, from birth to death.
What’s your creative starting point?
I start wondering in what way we intend to use the object I’m making in our daily life. With a solid understanding of craftsmanship and the material, I aim to create pieces that are tempting, that invite handling and wearing.
Do you master any specific techniques?
I master the time consuming technique of hammering a flat sheet of silver into any given shape. I like a challenge. Technical considerations are not a hindrance to my creativity, if anything they feed into the development of a design.
Lone Løvschal is a master artisan: she began her career in 1997 and she started teaching in 2004
