Arena CPH is a collaboration of classy, sophisticated designers. The magic of Arena CPH can be found in the harmony of the collections; although the jewelry is created by a group of designers, the collaboration is seamless while still allowing for the individuality of each designer. We interviewed one of the most talented jewelry designers, Sophie Bille Brahe for an inside scoop of Arena CPH. Her style is simple and beautiful. From bow ties to tiny Cinderella shoes, Ms. Brahe brings out the princess in all of us with her delicate, girly designs. According to Ms. Brahe, she has always wanted to design things. With the experience of travel (she grew up in Copenhagen and now lives in London) and jewelry education, Ms. Brahe shows that knowledge and talent can truly make an impact on success.
