The hallmarks of Günter Wermekes’s jewelry are minimalist geometry, precise proportions and a purposeful absence of decoration. This is how he intensifies the impact of the materials, their symbolism and their spatial presence. Wermekes was the first designer to present a complete jewelry collection made of stainless steel and diamonds on the market in 1990. In addition to jewelry he also designed innovative watches, door handles, trophies, sculptures and urban spaces. He received various awards such as the Design Prize of North-Rhine Westphalia, the Platinum Design of the Year 1994 Award and the red dot Award for high design quality presented by the Design Center of North-Rhine Westphalia. His works can be found both in public and private collections.
