Briefopener van het 10-jarig jubilieum van de Nederlandse Christelijke Radio Vereeniging 1924 - 1934

This letter opener was made by the NCRV for their 10th anniversary. I love the idea of turning something as mundane as opening letters into a sacred act. There’s something so human about giving everyday objects a higher meaning. What if the artist wanted to create a feeling of reverence and contemplation with a simple tool? Look at how the inscription, "Uw woord is de waarheid," flows down the letter opener like a gentle river, guiding you from beginning to end. I imagine the artist carefully choosing each letter, engraving each line with a sense of purpose. The cool touch of the metal, the weight in your hand—it all adds to the experience. NCRV had a conversation with other artists and artisans who worked with metal, with form, and with the concept of daily devotion. Each object is a moment of connection and inspiration.
