Elisa Bongfeldt

Elisa is a graduate of the CA College of Arts & Craft in the metal arts department. Upon graduation in 1994 she started a studio in Berkeley CA where she makes one of a kind and production jewelry. Elisa’s work is influenced by industrial design. She exhibits her work internationally.

The machine age has long been an inspiration for her due to its clean lines and forms.

She uses silver tubing to create lightness in the pieces, as well as uniformity of scale. This uniformity creates a sense of calmness for her as she makes it; both visually and in the fabrication process. Repetition of form and slight differences in scale create patterns Elisa finds to be elegant and modern.
