Phaino is a 3D printed jewelry collection combining art and technology. It consists of earrings and pendants. Each piece is the 3D recreation of a minimalistic conceptual artwork of Zoi Roupakia, which reveals the depth of human interaction, feelings and ideas. A 3D model is extracted from each of the artworks and a 3D printer produces the jewelry in 14K gold, rose gold, or rhodium plated brass. The jewelry designs retain the artistic value and the aesthetics of minimalism and become pieces that reveal a meaning to people, as the name Phaino means.
