Founded in Copenhagen in 2026 by Cecilie Svanberg, the young house was born of a dual heritage: Scandinavian on one side, Korean on the other. Two cultures that the designer does not seek to oppose, but rather to hold together within a single object.

It all begins with a pear. Hardly the motif one would spontaneously predict a career in jewelry, and yet. The Korean pear has become one of Giwon’s signatures, a nod to its founder's Korean name, which translates to "daughter of the fragrant pear tree." Hand-drawn, its silhouette finds its way onto a brooch, a piece of jewelry, or even a spoon.

Around this form, Giwon develops a small world of sculptural pieces with organic shapes, suspended somewhere between contemporary jewelry and a treasure brought back from a journey.

Each piece is handcrafted in Copenhagen from recycled sterling silver, in a deliberately limited production run, largely made to order.
