Between Bites

In conjunction with Stockholm Craft Week 2025, the Hallwyl Museum and Nutida Svenskt Silver invite you to the exhibition Between Bites. Twenty-nine silversmiths explore the significance of the meal as a meeting place, a conversation forum, and an avenue to togetherness.

The exhibition features around seventy artworks that tell the story of the social dynamics surrounding the meal-exploring function, craftsmanship, and community. These are pieces that enhance or transform the way we interact, and that we choose to surround ourselves with because they enrich our everyday lives.

When we set a table for a meal, materials and craftsmanship are an integral part of the experience. What do we remember from the meals we’ve shared? What do we talk about at the table today? And how will we experience the meal in the future?

We invite you to take a seat at a table where craftsmanship takes center stage!

A collection of earrings arranged on a white background, made from shells, mother-of-pearl, and silver. The earrings vary in shape and color – from short and sculptural to long, dangling designs. Some are made from flat scallop shells, others from spiral-shaped shells, and one pair features shimmering blue, mother-of-pearl-like elements hanging in multiple tiers.

Based on the stories I’ve heard about Wilhelmina von Hallwyl’s passion for collecting, I wanted to create a sensual champagne glass that could have earned a place in her collection.

Here, in a collector’s home where nothing was forgotten, the glass becomes a timeless symbol of joy and refined craftsmanship – part of a living archive of an aristocratic life.
