PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This personalized face powder is handcrafted with gold filigree, an ancient traditional Chinese craft. It is a gold processing technique used in ancient China's imperial court. Pure gold filaments as thin as 0.2mm are created. Stacking, piling, knitting, weaving, pinching, filling, assembling, and welding are then used to finish the filigree by hand. Mr. Yuan Changjun, a top Chinese filigree craftsman, created this piece. He has devoted himself to the filigree craft for over thirty years as a representative inheritor of the intangible heritage filigree craft. He holds the title of Beijing Municipal Master of Arts and Crafts.The face powder lid, in addition to the gold filigree handicraft, employs modern 3D printing technology, which makes the motif on the lid clear and precise. This design not only inherits the traditional filigree craft, but also innovatively applies modern technology. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 80mm x 80mm x 36mm TAGS: Face powder, jewelry, brooch, gold filigree craft, Florasis RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We studied how to combine the traditional Chinese handicraft of gold filigree with modern technology in this work in order to fully exploit the unique advantages of the traditional handicraft and modern technology. The peacock feather-shaped brooch on the lid of the face powder is a study and inheritance of traditional Chinese gold filigree. We collaborated with a top Chinese filigree craftsman. Furthermore, we investigated how to combine the filigree craft with 3D printing technology, resulting in a more precise and clear motif and ornament on the surface of the lid of the face powder. CHALLENGE: There are currently only a few gold filigree artisans in China. We were fortunate to find a top-tier craftsman to apply this traditional handicraft to the design of this face powder. The gold filaments used in this work are as thin as 0.2mm. The motif and ornament on the product's surface are created with gold filaments using techniques such as stacking, piling, knitting, weaving, pinching, filling, assembling, and welding. Such handicrafts are difficult to create. Furthermore, the combination of a face powder compact and a piece of jewelry presents a challenge to the structure's design. The structure must be cleverly designed and hidden within the work without sacrificing its beauty. Finally, we decorated the necessary structure and turned it into a lovely decorative detail in the product. The appearance, structure, and product are all perfectly integrated.
