Our Mission

使命

We design modern pieces that unite East and West through meaningful design

We craft demi-fine jewellery, accessories, and art that balances Danish minimalism with the rich storytelling of Hong Kong heritage. 

Each piece is thoughtfully designed, combining modern forms, symbolic details, and lasting materials like sterling silver and gold vermeil. 

Through storytelling, design, and craftsmanship, we aim to:

  1. Honour heritage - infuse Asian symbolism and tradition with modern simplicity
  2. Empower individuality - offer jewellery that reflects quiet confidence and personal meaning.
  3. Champion craftsmanship - create original designs that value artistry over mass production.
  4. Foster connection - build a global community that values culture, balance, and beauty with purpose.

Our Vision

願景

To celebrate cultural duality through timeless, meaningful design.

To create a world where jewellery, accessories, and art is not just decoration, but a bridge between cultures, where Scandinavian simplicity and Asian heritage coexist in timeless harmony.

We envision modern women and men expressing quiet confidence through design that carries both meaning and memory.

Our Values

價值觀

Balance

We exist between worlds -  East and West, simplicity and symbolism, strength and softness. Balance guides every decision we make, from design to communication, reflecting harmony in contrast.

Intention

Nothing is without meaning. Every line, contour, and material is chosen with purpose, to honour craftsmanship and evoke emotion.

Craftsmanship

Designed in Denmark, brought to life by artisans in Thailand and Vietnam. We value the human touch - precise, patient, and full of care, that turns design into lasting beauty.

Kanqvist is the name and core symbol of our brand. It captures who we are and guides how we show up across digital and physical spaces.

Although we often use it without the ® symbol in day-to-day design, the name is fully protected and uniquely ours.

The logo is designed to reflect simplicity. The name Kanqvist is created from the founders’ family name. Chi Mei KAN and Jan Bo ElmQVIST
