INSPIRATION: The word Sustain means to keep alive and also the understanding of the relation between human beings and the nature and also the human beings with each other. The universe is a set of chains and there will be a punishment even if one of its hoops is destroyed. The ability of a chain is equal to the ability of its weakest hoop and due to this reason, everybody should cooperate like chain and show the importance of survival to the others with unity and reduce the amount of the nature destruction that badly impacts the mankind day after day.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Each apparently invaluable piece can turn into a precious and meaningful piece. We only need to change our attitude towards the issues around us. Link consists of the loops and the user can either add or remove every hoop or piece and create a new form each time.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: In the design process of Link piece, with all the simplicities, the visual aspects have been the priority and the chain are the symbol of unity and bond. The complicated hoops in the center of the ring and also the minimal structure of the base part of silver, has made a beautiful and balanced design of unity and order with the disorder.
