Rings no bells with me. Context? And have you tried googling?

ive tried googling indeed.
hes apparently a designer. born in 1928.
thats all i know.
i think he might have had something to do with design during the 1960's....jewllery maybe.

I'm afraid jewellery design in the '60s is one of countless areas where my ignorance is nigh on boundless. Sorry. You've tried the obvious things, like the design section of your uni library, I assume? Anyone who can't be found at all by googling must be pretty obscure though.

thats what i thought. and i searched high and low for him. hes only in our readings, very briefly, but is mentioned in a tutorial topic i have been allocated to.

two months pass...

If you are still looking for info on Hermann junger
hermann junger is one of the most contemporary jewellers around. His stuff is exceptional and his is defiantly my favourite designer and maker around. He is however very hard to get any info on, but I do know that he was born in 1922 and is a tutor in a German art school teaching jewellery silversmithing and goldsmithing (which one…?). If you get a good book on contemporary jewellery design you should find a mention on him. His best know works seem to date 70s and 80s although he still creates stuff now (I am lead to believe).
Hope this was of some help
