RESEARCH ABSTRACT: : Ejoy was conceived to be a technological device but also a handcrafted jewel. The idea is indeed to offer a user-friendly fully functional device but characterized by a beautiful and attractive design, made thanks to the collaboration with "artistic Murano glass". Our goal is to demonstrate how technology and craft can be combined in order to create new useful and trendy products leveraging the power of the "made in Italy" brand and the excellence of Italian craftsmanship.
CHALLENGE: We went to Venice to collaborate with artisans.
The most difficult phase was to find a simple but elegant shape for our jewelry and search the right patterns of murano glass combined with the right metals colours.
