This handmade wooden vintage brooch Cocktail by the Finnish design company Aarikka plays with balance and geometry in a compact sculptural form.
Designed and produced in Finland in the late 1980s–1990s, the piece can be worn both as a brooch and as a pendant.
Design & Materials
The brooch combines stained wood with metal elements in a carefully weighted structure. A semicircular wooden form rests above a smaller dark base, connected by a slim metal stem. A polished metal sphere completes the composition, adding contrast and a subtle reflective detail.
The surfaces are smooth, with visible wood grain that emphasizes the handmade origin of the piece.
