4oh4 Studio is on a mission to challenge the conventional idea of jewelry made from luxurious, precious materials. We seek out overlooked materials that surround us daily and transform them through storytelling, design, and precise craftsmanship into unique pieces that make you stand out in the crowd.
Our identity, the name "4oh4," is a portmanteau of "404," representing an error in old narratives and perceptions of jewelry, and "oh," the contented sigh we release when discovering new treasures.
(…) It all began on the way back from an annual family trip to the Tatra Mountains. Everyone in the back seats of our car was already asleep, so I passed the time by crafting a silver biscuit wrapper and a forgotten paperclip. Once we got home, I enthusiastically presented my inaugural jewelry collection, crafted from found items in a car's interior, to my fellow passengers.
A lot has changed since that trip home but one thing still stands — my enduring fascination with finding potential in neglected materials.
