STARDUST BLUE SAPPHIRE

In the early 1990s Arje Griegst returned to his lifelong fascination of the universe and created the Cosmos and Stardust series. Each work looks as if the gold has been bombarded by showers of meteorites or distant asteroids, luring us with craters filled with precious stones and gems.

COSMOS & STARDUST HISTORY

Arje Griegst used to note how “the stones talk to me”, something that can be felt in the almost primordial divinity of the Cosmos and Stardust series. Stones and gold twinkle like stars in the firmament, born from Griegst’s fascination with the groundbreaking Hubble telescope images from the 1990s and the ongoing lure of a universe in constant evolution.

THE GALAXI CHANDELIER.

In the Designmuseum Denmark in Copenhagen, the large chandelier Galaxi illuminates a room. As one moves around the chandelier, the experience of it changes. Arje wished to convey the same feeling you can get when marvelling at faraway galaxies that appear in the firmament on a very dark night. 

THE CHANDELIER GALAXI

Galaxi seen in daylight. The spiral copper structure is composed as a giant filigree work adorned with gilded bronze loops across its outer surface.


The boundaries between craftsman and artist become blurred in Griegst’s work. Nature isn’t imitated but interpreted with a fairytale-like approach of awe, wonder and mischief.
