Maikku and Hammi Mettinen
Sisters. Designers. Architects of impossible things across fashion and interiors. Over three decades of playful, timeless design, deep material knowledge and multidisciplinary mastery. Born into a craftsman family. Not just designers, but makers and inventors. First the idea, then master the material. After, you are able to create something new, lasting and functional.
In 2021, they solved earrings' three problems: weight, piercing, allergies. 53 prototypes. Hundreds of ears - children, adults, men, women. The final design stays perfectly in place without pinching. EARBIT blends into every style, every age, every gender.
"Ideas stem from our own preferences and the ability lies in seeing things differently. I didn't want any more earrings to pull down. I wanted statement earrings that don't feel like statements. Jewelry that adds, not takes away. The earring's position shifts upward, enhancing your look instead of weighing it down - something I want and can wear." — Maikku Mettinen
"We used to dress people and spaces - now we dress ears. Maikku had this idea of weightless ear jewelry. Together, we solved the eternal problem of heavy earrings. EARBIT was born - and it's something that had never existed before."" — Hammi Mettinen
EARBIT is a new category. A new way to dress up. Not one design - a collection, a system.
