Danish jeweller and silversmith Niels Erik From ( N.E. From) was born in 1908
and opened his first workshop in 1931 when he was still only twenty-three .
Over the next forty years Niels Erik went on to become one one of the greats of
Danish design, and created many works including floral-inspired designs often
set with semi-precious gemstones. These pieces took inspiration from the
Skønvirke style. This was a Scandinavian development that formed part of
Denmarks Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movement . This movement ususally took
inspiration from nature with designs incorporating flowers and floral motifs as
well as featuring natural creatures such as fish.
N.E. FROM JEWELLRY STYLES - EARLY FLORAL DESIGNS AND LATER ABSTRACT MODERNIST
PIECES
N.E. Froms output generally displays one of two distinct styles. In the early
years of production he produced wiry, thin, foliage and floral pieces .However,
beginning in the 1950‘s the work produced by From (which were often the designs
of other designers) had a very different look. No longer does the jewellery
feature romantic, detailed designs from nature. The later pieces have modernist,
clean lines with geometric and abstract shapes. Occasionally the modern designs
show nature as inspiration with abstract blossom and leaf and blossom shapes. In
generally though, they follow the trend of the 1950s of , spare, minimalist
design.production .
