Overview
Vintage brooch by Aarikka, Finland. The piece combines carved wood with a fine metal structure, forming a calm, balanced composition that relies on proportion rather than ornament. The design is graphic but tactile, with a clear focus on material contrast and rhythm.
Design & Materials
The brooch is built around a dark wooden bar, softly faceted and polished to reveal the natural grain. Beneath it, a curved metal arc supports a small sequence of metal beads, introducing movement and a subtle sense of suspension. The elements are visually separated yet structurally connected, creating depth within a compact form.
The palette is restrained: deep brown wood paired with warm-toned metal. This limited range emphasizes surface, line, and geometry rather than color.
Measurements
Length: approx. 7 cm
Condition
Very good vintage condition. Light wear consistent with age and careful use.
