More than just another story.
Chi Mei Kan
With roots in Hong Kong and a life shaped in Denmark, Chi Mei occupies a space between identities, a perspective that flows naturally into her designs.
Originally trained in fashion, she turned to jewellery in 2013, a medium that allows for smaller, more meaningful expressions of form, memory and craft. After years working for different fashion brands, she founded Kanqvist with her best friend, Jan Bo Elmqvist.
Between Hong Kong and Denmark, a story becomes design.
From Nordic calm to the layered stories of Hong Kong, Kanqvist draws on contrast: the serenity of minimalism and the richness of Chinese cultural history.
Many pieces carry 心, the heart, as a quiet detail you find when you look closely.
We design modern pieces that unite East and West through meaningful design.
Heritage
Asian symbolism and tradition, given a modern and simple form.
Craft
Original designs that value artistry over mass production, made in lasting materials.
Meaning
Jewellery that reflects quiet confidence and a story of its own.
The hands behind
When you look at a piece of jewellery, it is easy to see only the finished result. Behind every piece are many hands, small details and hours of craftsmanship.
To celebrate cultural duality through timeless, meaningful design.
