Here is a book about food and metal. Together with her grandmother, Anna would bake coffee cakes and breads in their outdoor oven at 8 years of age. Her dream begins to take flight when she sees the interaction between cooking and metal. At age 13, Anna declares to her parents that she wants to become a silversmith. She goes on to school in Gothenberg to learn from Thore Eldh. Her award winning design in holloware and flatware has been commissioned by the royal family; the emphasis is function as well as beauty in her art work in silver. The book also features great recipes.

An extensive international overview of the present diversity of a unique genre of jewelry design - the chatelaine. The exhibition includes works by over seventy artists from Europe, North and South America, Australia and Japan. The invited artists were free to decide on the type of chatelaine they wished to take and to whom it was to be dedicated. The role models could be famous authors, artists, politicians or philosophers just as well the artist’s friends or relatives not previously known to the public. To accompany the work, the artists have prepared brief texts explaining their choices. All the chatelaines were made specifically for this exhibition from 2002 to 2006. Interesting well crafted avant-garde jewelry, not always very decorative often quite industrial looking.
