Canadian jewelry designer Robert Larin (Shop Active: 1968-1977)
Mid-century Scandinavian modernist silver jewelry has inspired many designers around the world. Among them was the most notable Canadian modernist jewelers of the 1960s and 70s Robert Larin. Already at the age of 21, he founded his workshop on Rue Papineau in Montreal, where a team of artisans, most of whom were deaf, created quality refined jewelry. Handcrafted from pewter, oxidized metal alloys, silver and gold, these modernist pieces have been highly collectible today.
