{"title":"Bjørn Sigurd Østern","description":"\u003cp\u003e(b. 1938) In the early 1960s, the David-Andersen Company again needed a new dynamic designer to modernize the company image and update the production lines along with the recent development of taste. Bjørn Sigurd Østern was chosen, and he was to work with the company on a regular basis,1961-73 as well as from 1974 until 1985. Studying at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) 1956-61, Østern had been awarded ‘Best Student’. He spent 1963 in the US on a scholarship from the diamond company ‘de Beers Consolidated Mines’ and he held exhibitions in New York in 1964 and 1965. Østern and Harry Sørby, who had been with David-Andersen since 1929, were the leading designers of the company in the sixties and seventies, contributing to a new and modern look that continued the company’s already strong tradition of Scandinavian Design. - Courtesy of the book: Northern Lights, The Beauty of the Forgotten Scandinavian Enamel Jewelry Artists by Lois Olson and Dwight Olson\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"norway-bjorn-ostern-per-killingmo-sterling-corpus-kinetic-pendant-rare-73-74","title":"Norway Bjørn Østern Per Killingmo Sterling Corpus Kinetic Pendant RARE 73-74","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNorwegian Designer Bjørn Østern for Per Killingmo Sterling Silver Abstract Modernist Corpus Kinetic Pendant\/Brooch Necklace Circa 1970s\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMeasurements: Pendant 1.75\"L x 1.75\"W x .3\"Thick (4.45cm x 4.45cm x .76cm)           \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eChain: 20\"L (50.80cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMarkings: Pendant\/Brooch: Østern - Per Killingmo Maker's Mark - Sterling - 925S - Norway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eChain: D inside a Circle 925 Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWeight: 21.7g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn absolutely superb piece by the iconic Norwegian designer Østern. Created during the 2 year period he worked for Per Killingmo in Oslo, Norway. This kinetic style design of repetitively put together smaller elements, was experimental and highly expressive. Pulling from the design elements of the Corpus Series he created for David Andersen and bridging the later small scale production of handmade jewelry from Østern’s own workshop, which he ran since 1960, using techniques demanding countless hours of patient work. This piece features a necklace bale and a pinback and has been professionally polished. I have paired it with a hefty small mariner link Italy sterling chain. It is in exceptional condition and a very rare and highly sought after collector's piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMannequin is a life-size torso representation\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Bjørn Sigurd Østern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42410803658967,"sku":"314-20210324","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0398\/2727\/5940\/products\/ostern-jewelry-norway-bjorn-ostern-per-killingmo-sterling-corpus-kinetic-pendant-rare-73-74-36789865578711.jpg?v=1647608757"}],"url":"https:\/\/trendy-mcm-home.myshopify.com\/en-fr\/collections\/bjorn-sigurd-ostern.oembed","provider":"Trendy Modern Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
