The Design

About Unity Ring

Unity er en langfinget modering fremstillet af 18 karat gult guld. Designet er inspireret af De Stijl-bevægelsen, grundlagt i 1917, og anvender grundlæggende visuelle elementer som rektangler og cylindre til at skabe en enkel abstrakt komposition. Rektangler i forskellige størrelser gentages og justeres, nogle hule og nogle udfyldte, hvilket skaber et rytmisk mønster og en fornemmelse af bevægelse, der leder øjet. Ringen måler 20,80 gange 18,76 millimeter og vejer 7,95 gram. En voksprototype blev printet tredimensionelt inden støbning.

Production Technology: This project has been designed and developed in the 3D Matrix program. First, a 3d model was created and sent to a Projet wax 3D printer, then a prototype was printed with wax. After checking the size and visual aspects of the prototype, a plaster mold was created, and afterward, the ring got cast.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was to stay simple and not to over-deliver on the design, It was something I generally struggled with.
Research: Neo Plasticism relied on the most basic elements such as color, line, and form only in their purest, most fundamental state to convey universal and absolute truths, in other words Reducing art to pure components.
Inspiration: Impressed by the De Stijl movement founded in 1917 the designer of the Unity ring intended to use basic visual elements such as rectangles and cylinders to find a simple abstract composition through geometry and to form a coherent whole. Multiple rectangles with different sizes are repeated and aligned together, some arranged to be hollow and some to be filled, this will create a rhythmic pattern and convey a sense of movement and provides a path for the viewers eye to follow.
Project Duration: The Unity ring was designed in December 2019 in Tehran/Iran.
Operation Flow: Lady's fashion ring
