Brutalist Pewter Pendant by Tapani Vanhatalo | 1970s
Brutalist style vintage pendant designed by Finnish artist Tapani Vanhatalo in the 1970s. The pendant is square in outline, built from nine interconnected circular forms arranged in a grid. The rough, textured pewter surface emphasizes the raw sculptural quality typical of Brutalist jewelry.
The pendant hangs on a metal chain with a secure clasp. Its compact form and geometric repetition give it both a minimal and architectural presence.
