The Design

About Baobab Tree Koleksyon sa Alahas

Ang Baobab Tree usa ka koleksyon sa alahas nga hinimo sa pilak nga naglakip sa usa ka singsing, usa ka taas nga station necklace, ug usa ka pulseras. Ang panguna nga motif gibase sa Bulak sa Kinabuhi, usa ka geometric nga sumbanan sa nagtabon nga mga lingin. Kining sumbanan gihimong lingin nga mga petals, mao nga ang singsing nagpakita og usa ka dako nga organikong bulak kung isul-ob sa tudlo. Kung tan-awon gikan sa kilid, ang samang singsing naghulma sa dagway sa usa ka baobab tree, nga nailhan usab isip Kahoy sa Kinabuhi. Ang mga motif gidrawing gamit ang 3D CAD ug unya gihimo pinaagi sa kamot gamit ang wax modeling ug tradisyonal nga mga teknik sa metal craft.

Tags: Baobab, 3D, CAD, WAX modeling, Ring, Earth
Production Technology: Both modern and traditional technique have been used. Main
motif and base ring have been drawn and designed with 3D Cad, and each item has been carefully produced with other hand craft max modeling and traditional metal craft technique.
Design Challenge: The first challenge was to designe and transform inorganic geometric symbol to the organic form and the concept with "Life" which would be cherished as an charm.
Research: Main objective for my research was to visualize the order of nature. I had been focusing on the geometry symbol called "Flower of Life" which has been defined as basic template for everything in existence. The research was to study the concept of the symbol and its historical stories that included Key words such as "origin of life" "nature" "eternity". As a result, the design of main motif has been transformed into circles of petals rather than the perfect geometric shape. At the same time, I carefully designed tree trunk and branch into the ring.
Inspiration: This collection, Flower of Life is designed and created with the inspiration of rhythms of mother earth. Flower of Life is known as a sacred geometric overlapping circles pattern. The symbol itself has been used from ancient period and often symbolized all creation on the planet, or even of the universe. I am inspired by the primitive image of this symbol and also empowered by the wild nature; Baobab trees has been known as "Tree of Life".
Project Duration: Project for this Flower of Life Collection had started in 2017 in Tokyo Japan, main designed motif and ring was combined as first Baobab Ring in 2018 and this collection is still growing. Expanded work as for till 2020 were Long station necklace, bracelet, earring and 18k gold and platinum combination version ring.
Operation Flow: Baobab Ring is a Signature Silver Ring of the Flower of Life collection. When wearing the ring it shows an organically designed large flower. This flower is constructed with overlapping circles petals which are transformed from the geometric symbol of Flower of Life. When it’s seen from the side, the ring illustrate Baobab Tree image. This main motifs have also crafted for Long Station Necklace and Bracelet.
