Kobi

AroView: A loving portrait of Swiss-born goldsmith Kobi Bosshard, widely regarded as the grandfather of contemporary NZ jewellery, made by his daughter, filmmaker Andrea Bosshard (The Great Maiden’s Blush).

Kobi is approaching 80 and maintains commitment to his work (though not without personal sacrifice), designing jewellery pieces of classic simplicity and elegance in his modest workshop in picturesque central Otago. Kobi was also once a regular AroVideo customer!

“A wonderful expose on a mindful craftsman whose gentle nature belies the prominent nature of his work.” ~Toby Woollaston, NZ HERALD
