The serendipitous encounter between Käthe and Orsolya can be traced back to an Instagram message, marking the beginning of multiple encounters, alignment, professional communication, and the inception of their enduring friendship.

The most recent collaboration with Readykakao serves as a testament to Orsolya’s openness and curiosity, guiding her towards uncharted creative territories and offering a remarkable opportunity to intertwine diverse artistic domains. Käthe’s screen prints, which evoke emotions and thoughts through captivating forms and colors, provide a pivotal wellspring of inspiration.

The technical foundation of her artistic screen prints encapsulates a fundamental concept within the collection - the fusion of colors, the overlay of shapes, and the interplay of contrasts that constitute its essence.

This collaboration results in the NEW DIMENSION collection, a fresh and innovative approach in the realms of fashion, design, and art.

The result is a collection that exudes playfulness, features bold colors, and utilizes exclusive materials offering a one-of-a-kind and artful jewelry experience, breaks conventional boundaries, charting a fresh creative path.

Orsolya skillfully explores and shapes the compositions, colors, and forms found in Käthe’s screen prints, adding depth and dimension to the artwork. She transforms the layering and overlapping elements of the prints into a three-dimensional spatial encounter, all while infusing her unique creative expression. This transformation is a pivotal facet of contemporary jewelry design, taking the original work into uncharted territory, transcending limits, and giving rise to something truly distinct and novel in this exciting new dimension.


The NEW DIMENSION collection was presented at the BLICKFANG Designmesse, where READYKAKAO and KARMAN JEWELRY showcased their creations at the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna in October 2023.
