| DESIGN NAME: My Beautiful Inner World PRIMARY FUNCTION: Necklace INSPIRATION: We believe that we know how we look like, but inside we hide something that also has an individual identity. Our bones. Our hidden beautiful inner world. This is an experiment on maximum exposure: Something deeper than what we hide under clothes. Something that we hide under the flesh. The visual component of the concept includes shoots of flowers, making their way through the bones and holes of teeth. It demonstrates the triumph of nature and the plant world. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The jewelry collection is based on 3D models of the cranial bones of the author. The collection was created using the latest developments in the field of 3D scanning & modeling, which are used in modern orthodontics. It reflects the global trend of individualization & customization: jewelry which brings a part of the author or customer's scanned bones as a representation of his personal "inner world". Innovations meet the trends of contemporary jewelry art. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: By wearing these necklaces, a person shows a certain courage, as well as an interest to innovations in fashion & science. It is a good way to achieve maximum attention & start a deep philosophical conversation. Non traditional materials - aliminum & polyamide - are very light, which made it possible to create large & almost weightless products. White leather cord & magnet clasp are neutral & easy to use. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Started in October 2018 in Moscow, Russia. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Layouts of bones are printed on a 3D printer in polyamide maintaining the original scale. Flower arrays are built in 3D and cast in aluminum. Aluminum is anodized to give metal a saturated color. The collection includes 3 necklaces consisting of the upper and lower jaw, and the third cervical vertebra. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Necklace 1: Upper jaw 10 x 9 x 3.5 cm, 25 gr. Necklace 2: Lower jaw 19 x 7 x 2 cm, 40 gr. Necklace 3: Cervical vertebra 5.5 x 4.5 x 2 cm, 12 gr. TAGS: innovation, jewelry, necklace, skull, bones, flower RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design challenge was to use the bones which are normally hidden. But how should we get them if they are still a part of a living person? All the 3D technologies used in art before were unable to reach them. Computed tomography (CT) and 3D innovations in orthodontics turned out to be the best answer. So CT of the author`s head was done to obtain 3D bone models. 3D segments were converted into surface models and used while creating jewelry. CHALLENGE: The challenge was to create jewelry collection on the edge of contemporary art using medical innovations.
