ROBIN ERFE'S DESIGNS AND CREATIVE PROCESS IS FOUNDED ON A LOVE FOR CREATING BEAUTY AND ADORNING THE BODY IN ELEGANCE WHILE BEING INFLUENCED BY BOTH THE TWIST OF NATURE AND THE CITY. BEGINNING AS A CHILD BUILDING FROM CARDBOARD, PLASTIC FROM DISCARDED ENVELOPES, COLLECTING ROCKS, WORKING WITH BEADS, TO ENDING UP IN A BENCH JEWELERS PROGRAM AT STUDIO JEWELERS, INC., IN NYC, SHE FOUND A LOVE IN MANIPULATION OF METAL. MELTING METAL IS A MANIFESTATION OF EXPLORING LIFE IN ALL ITS TWISTED MAGNIFICENCE AND BEAUTY.
BASED IN BROOKLYN, ROBIN FOCUSES ON HANDCRAFTED TECHNIQUES, CREATING ONE OF A KIND PIECES AND LIMITED EDITION COLLECTIONS. HER WORK SHOWCASES HAND FABRICATED CHAINS, PRECIOUS STONES SOURCED FROM SMALL BUSINESS STONE CUTTERS AND HER LOVE FOR HAND TEXTURED FRINGE AND MELTED METAL.
