"Balloon"

Design: Ted Muehling, 2007

Since 1976, Ted Muehling has been designing jewelry and decorative objects inspired by organic forms found in nature. “Rocks, shells, eggs, and insects all inspire me, and humble me as a designer. I try to keep shapes restrained, abstracting forms in nature, transforming them through the imperative to make objects that look beautiful and work beautifully. My designs trace the invisible forms that exist between nature and our perceptions of it.”
