Art in Karat – Up-and-coming goldsmith Luca Sonnentag on his passion

Files, pliers, and engraving tools lie within easy reach; an old workbench with its indentations bears witness to countless hours of work – Luca Sonnentag sits in his workshop near Schwäbisch Gmünd, a small town in Baden-Württemberg, and seems completely in his element. At just 24 years old, he belongs to a generation that has become rare: young people who consciously choose the time-honored craft of goldsmithing.
