Médecine

Residing between Prague and southern Sweden, Nina Makelberge focuses on collecting and creating one-of-a-kind objects that bring individuality and intimacy, that help turn a place into a space for living.
Her love for beautiful interiors, a trained eye to mix classical and contemporary design and the merging of her European roots with influences from her upbringing in India, Malaysia, Korea are the foundations behind Médecine’s world and her design practice.
Besides offering her carefully curated collection of art and antiques, she also designs her own line of art objects, drawing on ancient techniques native to Bohemia and her fascination for the perennial myth of shells and the sea.

The lustrous surface catches light like captured moonbeams on water. This handcrafted modern art sculpture emerges from Prague's storied bronze foundries, where specialized forging techniques transform raw iron into organic poetry. Silver plating creates that distinctive pearlescent finish, each piece bearing the subtle irregularities that mark authentic artisan work. The Pinctada oyster inspiration translates into flowing, asymmetrical forms that feel both ancient and utterly contemporary. At just three centimeters high, this intimate scale invites close examination, revealing the meticulous hand-finishing that distinguishes serious studio work from mass production.

Contemporary silver sculpture of this caliber represents the craft revival movement's finest achievements. European foundry traditions meet modern aesthetic sensibilities in pieces like this, creating collectible works that bridge decorative and fine art categories. The limited edition status adds market appeal for discerning collectors seeking unique statement pieces. This modern art sculpture suits minimalist interiors where subtle luxury matters more than bold gestures. Curated by Médecine for The Oblist, it exemplifies how contemporary artisans honor traditional techniques while creating entirely fresh visual languages. Perfect for collectors who appreciate intimate scale and exceptional craftsmanship over dramatic presence.
