Born in 1962 in Hochdorf, Switzerland, into a family of craftsmen, jewelery designer Patrik Muff grew up in a highly creative environment, surrounded by hammers, nails and saws.
After completing training as a goldsmith, he studied art in Cologne, New York and Londonbefore opening his “4. König” jewelery shop with Klaus Arck and Marie von Chamier. Since 1991 he has been represented by internationally renowned galleries, jewelers and fashion stores. In addition to his own collections he has produced project work with well-known artists and fashion houses such as Jenny Holzer (1994), Strellson (1999), Schiesser Revival (2004) and Puma (2006).
In 2008 he created the “Essentials” jewelery line for Nymphenburg. Patrik Muff took his inspiration for the collection from historical Nymphenburg designs such as Franz Ignaz Günther’s skull dating from around 1756. Strong sacred symbols expressed in clear imagery – characteristic of the work of the designer who currently lives in Munich.
