About Helfred van Malkenhorst
Born in the Netherlands and now based in Malta, Helfred van Malkenhorst is a multidisciplinary creative whose work moves between luxury jewelry design, fine dining, film, and music.
With a background shaped by Michelin-level culinary discipline, Helfred approaches creativity with precision, emotion, and respect for natural beauty. His upcoming jewelry brand, Helfy Design, blends Nordic-inspired minimalism with the rare elegance of Asian pearl heritage — creating sculptural statement pieces that feel more like wearable art than traditional jewelry.
Beyond jewelry and gastronomy, Helfred is also active in film and performance. He has worked on international productions filmed in Malta and brings a strong visual presence, multilingual communication, and artistic versatility to every project. His passion for music includes handpan performance, percussion, saxophone, opera vocals, and experimental sound — all of which influence the emotional atmosphere behind his creative vision.
Whether designing a collectible jewelry piece, creating culinary experiences, performing music, or stepping in front of the camera, Helfred’s work is driven by one philosophy:
Create with soul, precision, and timeless character.
