It can be worn as a statement piece or a subtle accessory, adding sophistication and elegance to any outfit. Interacting with the pendant involves admiring the intricate design and texture achieved through 3D printing. The use of rhodium-plated brass and delicate 9ct white gold chain adds luxury and durability, complementing the overall aesthetic. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2018, in Cambridge, UK. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Additive manufacturing. 3D Printing.

TAGS: jewellery, pendant, art, wearable art, 3D printing RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This research project investigates the creation of a visually striking pendant using 3D printing technology and rhodium-plated brass. It incorporates elements of Greek culture and minimalist design inspired by Zoi Roupakia, as well as a line from a poem by Odysseus Elytis. The designer utilized CAD software to create a digital model of the pendant, which was refined and printed using a high-resolution 3D printer. The project demonstrates how cultural elements and artwork can be incorporated into the design process to create a unique and meaningful product. CHALLENGE: The challenge was to design a visually appealing pendant that incorporates Greek culture and minimalistic style while overcoming the limitations of 3D printing technology and ensuring durability and lightness. The designer needed to represent cultural elements aesthetically and create an intricate design within 3D printing's technical constraints. The objective was to create a visually striking and meaningful pendant that meets technical and material requirements.
