| DESIGN DETAILS |
DESIGN NAME:
Organic Line
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Contemporary Jewelry Line
INSPIRATION:
"Geometry is to nature what grammar is to the art of writing"
Transformation of flat geometric shapes (rectangles and squares) into volumetric shapes (clefts) through straight cross sections and strategic joints at one point. This, together with the brand's own values of material recovery, seek to extend the perception of the objects as unique and durable pieces.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Organic line, 2018, works the fold by means of a rolled and, depending on the case, warped surface. The formal feature that articulates the product line is the cleft, both horizontally and vertically. Depending on the case, the crease contributes to the primary function of the product. However, the cleft contributes mainly to the meaning of the concepts of rhythm and organicity.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
They are designed to be comfortable to wear, so that the wearer can put them on without help. They are designed for daily use and with the appropriate weights so as not to cause damage to the user.
In the case of the bracelet and the ring, they have metal cufflinks that serve to fasten and unfasten for use.
In the case of the ring, it is adjustable.
The bracelet has a single position, but you can customize its anchorage, as well as the earrings, which can be shortened.
In the case of the earrings, a stainless steel wire is used to generate the curl that will be introduced into the earlobe.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in October 2017 and finished in January 2018 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Material: double glued cowhide leather. Manufacture: Manual. The guiding idea was based on the generation of volumes (3D pieces) obtained from planes (geometric surfaces). For this purpose, the internal, regular and transversal straight cuts were established, allowing flexibility. The joints had to be minimal, so they had to be joined at a single point. The bracelets by a single central point and the earrings rolled up on themselves diagonally. To fasten and unfasten for use, the bracelet and ring have metal cuff links, and the earrings have a stainless steel wire loop.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Different types of leather are received with different thicknesses and thicknesses, a leather back is applied to minimize the differences.
Gluing, cutting and shaping by hand.
Earrings; Width 30mm Depth 30mm Height 130mm
Ring; Width 25mm Depth 8mm Height 85mm
Bracelet; Width 60mm Depth 20mm Height 200mm
Double glued leather, in different colors and textures, pastel, metallic and basic.
Packaging is custom cardboard with outer loop, brand label, card and heart.
TAGS:
from geometry to organicity, jewelry, sustainability, cleft, morphological search, organic shape,
RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Research type direct experimentation on the material.
The Objective: To transform a flat surface into a three-dimensional object through cuts. Until finding the way, months of tests with different types of cuts and joints to obtain the final shape.
These proposals have been used as an example of design for the formulation of graduate theses, has obtained the Seal of Good Argentine Design and is sold among others in the MALBA and Mudam and MUMeDi museum stores.
CHALLENGE:
When the development of this project was proposed, we had already been working on the generation of volumes from surfaces, but we always found ourselves with solutions that took a long time to produce. It was then that the challenge was to achieve it with a single joint and still work as a product and fit the body. In all cases the response amazed us as they were assimilated and valued by our users immediately.
Figure rolled / warped surface. Slit elements. Full metallic colors.

The creative journey behind the "Organic Line" is a vivid testament to the power of innovation and meticulous craftsmanship in contemporary jewelry design. The transformation of flat geometric shapes into volumetric forms through strategic cuts and joints not only showcases a profound understanding of geometry but also celebrates the intrinsic beauty of materials through their recovery and sustainable use. The unique approach of utilizing folded, rolled, and, in some instances, warped surfaces to articulate the concepts of rhythm and organicity is both fascinating and inspiring. This line, with its clefts serving as a primary functional and aesthetic feature, truly pushes the boundaries of traditional jewelry design, making each piece a unique and durable work of art. The dedication to manual craftsmanship, using double glued cowhide leather and minimalistic joints to create 3D pieces from geometric planes, reflects a deep commitment to both innovation and tradition. It is particularly impressive how these designs have not only garnered accolades but have also been recognized as valuable educational tools, earning places in prestigious museum stores and contributing significantly to the field of design research. The success of this project in overcoming production challenges to achieve such elegance and functionality speaks volumes of the talent and vision behind it, making the recognition by the A' Design Award well-deserved. This work by Mayte Ossorio Domecq is truly a source of inspiration for anyone passionate about the future of jewelry design.
