To mark the anniversary of Wagebundt and Joachim Bartz Jewellery, we are conceptualising and designing a catalogue about Wagebundt. In doing so, we are translating the organic elements of the jewellery and the summery theme into a visual language.

An image showing several catalogues stacked on top of one another against an orange background. The cover is at the top. It reads ‘WAGEBUNDT’ and, in smaller letters below that, ‘Unser Handwerk’.

Anniversary celebrations

Task

Joachim Bartz is celebrating two anniversaries: 15 years of Wagebundt and 25 years of Joachim Bartz Jewellery. To mark the occasion, a large summer party will be held. We were commissioned to design a catalogue that showcases the Wagebundt brand and its two product lines, whilst also highlighting their high quality. The Wagebundt logo was one of ungestalt’s very first projects, so this brings full circle. We are delighted to be marking this anniversary with the catalogue!

The first page of the catalogue. On the left is a photograph of the workshop with people in it. On the right, the word ‘WAGEBUNDT’ appears against an orange background.

Page on the materials. An orange river is in the background, with information about river gold and diamonds displayed on it.

The open catalogue. On the right it says ‘Baseline’. Behind it, a photograph of a swan can be seen.

Just like a summer party!

Approach and implementation

Each ring is unique and handmade in Leipzig. Some are crafted from German river gold, and the damask rings evoke images of water, streams and rivers through their texture. We take up this theme graphically and incorporate it into the visual language through organic shapes and imagery. The design is inspired by the summer party: warm, vibrant colours, the play of light on water, and reddish-golden drinks. The result is textures that blend into one another, just like the damask rings by Wagebundt.
