Kim Buck
b. 1957, Danish Goldsmith

Buck trained as a goldsmith with Gilbert Pretzmann in 1982 and graduated from the Danish College of Jewellery and Silversmithing in 1985. Since 1990, he has had his own workshop and gallery, and in the period of 1999-2001 he acted as an associate professor at the School of Design and Crafts at Göteborg 
University. He has also designed jewellery for the Danish design firm Georg 
Jensen. His work as a goldsmith covers a wide range, but a common feature 
is his attempt to give his works a functional appeal. Buck has a highly 
conceptual approach to jewellery design. In recent years he has been 
exploring the symbols, conventions and clichés of his trade and sought to 
uncover and challenge them through his work. That was also his approach 
when he created the bowl Hollowware, which was included in Crafts 
Collection 11. Buck’s work has won him many accolades, including the 
three-year working grant from the Danish Arts Foundation and the Ole Haslund Artists’ Grant.


Hollowware, Gold Brooch and Gold Bracelet

Hollowware is an inflatable bowl made in metallic plastic foil. Hollowware 
is intended as a comment and a play on words relating to material and function. Hollowware is a professional term normally applied to silver objects. For this 
bowl, Buck chose an approach that challenges the traditional understanding of the concept and thus created an inflatable object for the table that is both 
humorous and functional.
Gold brooch & Gold bracelet are inflatable pieces of jewellery in gold foil. 
As a trade, jewellery design has for generations focused more on the monetary value of the materials than on the artistic value – jewellery was seen as an 
investment in precious materials: gold, silver and gems. As a modern jewellery designer, Kim Buck takes an ironic stance to these mechanisms, insisting that 
the value of his jewellery lies in their concept, design and craftsmanship.
