In a charming backstreet in the centre of Kassel you will find Schmagold, the go-to place for artisanal objects of the highest quality. Founded in 2019 by goldsmith Franziska Appel, the store offers an exquisite selection of jewellery, glass and ceramic objects from renowned German artisans including Ulla and Martin Kaufmann, Cornelius Réer and Ulrike Uschmann, as well as Franziska's own works. After ten years working in leading studios across Germany, Franziska decided it was time to come back home and build up something on her own. With regularly changing exhibitions featuring different crafts, her store is always worth a visit.
