Artlovers Tip
Don’t judge value by the material. One of Rohner’s strengths is making porcelain, wood or ceramic feel as intentional and refined as precious metal.
Look at the prototypes and tests too. They reveal the decisions, failures and adjustments hidden behind apparently effortless simplicity.

Description
La forma sostenida is conceived as a survey of thirty years of form and object, structured across three stages of Rohner’s career, each with its own character. Rather than showing only polished final pieces, the exhibition opens up the broader creative ecosystem behind them: jewellery appears alongside objects, tests, photographs and collaborative projects. This makes the exhibition as much about how a design develops over time as about individual pieces.
A central thread is material intelligence. Rohner has consistently combined noble metals with porcelain, wood and ceramics, relying on artisanal processes and restrained forms rather than visual excess. The official museum presentation also highlights the importance of sustainable production, positioning longevity and making as part of the aesthetic rather than as an added message.
Helena Rohner is a Canary Islands-born jewellery and object designer whose work has developed an international profile over the past three decades. She has collaborated with figures and brands including David Delfín, Paul Smith and Georg Jensen, and has been awarded the Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts.
