“For me, silversmithing and hairdressing go hand in hand—each one constantly inspiring the other.”
Anders Olsson
Anders Olsson is a Swedish designer and silversmith known for merging craftsmanship with a highly personal artistic voice. With a background in metalwork from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design, he has developed a multidisciplinary practice where sculptural forms, functional objects, and spontaneous creativity intersect. His work often explores contrasts—between raw and refined, rigid and playful—and spans materials such as silver, iron, brass, and copper. Uniquely, Olsson also works as a hairdresser, and this direct, expressive craft fuels his artistic process. Ideas born behind the salon chair frequently take shape in the studio as jewelry, furniture, or one-of-a-kind design objects. Exhibited at venues like Galleri Sebastian Schildt, his pieces challenge traditional categories and blur the line between art and utility. Through this rare fusion of vocations, Anders Olsson continues to push the boundaries of contemporary Swedish design.
