The line is the basis of any design form. It describes a surface in two-dimensional form and becomes a body in three dimensions and consequently a design object. As a designer, ariane ernst uses the line not only as a contour-creating instrument, but as a conscious stylistic tool. This creates strong haptic structures, such as those of the line ring; filigree curved hand flatterers, such as the spiral ring; and unique versions, such as those of the Emerald Cut engagement ring.
