About Otowav المجوهرات

تم إنشاء Otowav من أجل توفير إبداع فريد لشخص مميز وإتاحة إمكانية التعبير عن المشاعر التي لا تكفي الكلمات وحدها لها. مشتقة من الكلمة اليابانية التي تعني موجة صوتية، oto، تمثل Otowav المكان الذي تلتقي فيه المشاعر والصوت والكلمات في ثلاثة أبعاد. وكما يقول المثل القديم، الصورة تساوي ألف كلمة. لكن الكلمات يمكنها أيضًا أن ترسم صورًا. في كل مرة يتحدث المرء، تنتج أصواتهم موجات تسمى الأشكال الصوتية. تترجم أوتوف مشاعر الفرد إلى ثلاثة أبعاد، مما يخلق تصميمًا فريدًا يعتمد على صوته.

Production Technology
Each item of our designs is linked to a unique personalized message. It is then sculpted through our algorithm making each design unique. We felt that three dimensional printing was the production solution that could full fill our expectetions to deliver the most promising experience for the user.
Design Challenge
The transition process from a sounwave form to a three dimensional object was very demanding both design and production wise.
In terms of visualization the information given by the soundwave through the algorithm that was created, had to be broken down to a minimal form that could communicate the message visualy through an elegant contemporary design.
The customisation of each design resulted in a production process that included 3d printing and the NFC technology used for transferring the personal audio message that is embeded in each design.
Research
Our capacity of sharing memories differentiate us humans amongst other species. Within only one year we took 1,5 trillion photographs.
We decided though that we wanted to share memories through the original story teller, the human voice.
We started by developing an algorithm that converted soundwaves into 3d printed jewlery.
The platform gives the freedom to the user to add their personal touch while at the same time a personal audio message can be embeded inside.
The collection has been designed to serve as an ellegant template ready to be sculpted by the sound of your voice.
Inspiration
Our wish to express feelings to someone which words just could not do justice to has created otowav. Deriving from the Japanese word for soundwave, oto, otowav represents the place where feelings, a voice and words meet in three dimensions.
Every time we speak, our voices produce waves called soundforms. They are the way nature is making our voice visible.
Otowav translates your feelings into three dimensions, creating a unique design based on the sound of your voice.
Project Duration
The project started in February 2018 in Athens Greece and finished in March 2021.
