Connect 4

During the isolation of the pandemic, Jonas Lindblad has an idea that soon develops into an obsession: to create the world’s most exclusive Connect 4 game in precious metal. Together with goldsmith Eddie Herlin, the project turns into a journey spanning several years, where the boundaries between creativity, obsession and human need begin to blur. By the time the game is finally completed, a deeper realization emerges: what Jonas was really trying to build was not an object, but a way out of loneliness.
