About Faster Than Light Anhänger Und Ohrringe
Das Schmuckset Faster Than Light gibt die Geschwindigkeit und Beschleunigung durch stille Metallschmuckstücke wieder. Das Konzept wird durch sorgfältig berechnete Geometrie der Formen und feine Gravuren visualisiert. Das Design ist von der immer schneller werdenden Geschwindigkeit des Lebens inspiriert, von Erfindungen über Technologie bis hin zu menschlichen Interaktionen. Gemäß der Relativitätstheorie werden Objekte, Strukturen und Teilchen, wenn sie auf Lichtgeschwindigkeit beschleunigt werden, kleiner, ihre Masse nimmt zu und schließlich kollabieren sie zu einem einzigen Punkt. Jenseits dieses Punktes, wenn die Geschwindigkeit schneller als das Licht wird, beginnt das Unbekannte ...

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- This design visualizes the accelerating objects, structures and particles. The further the speed increases, the smaller the objects get, and the structures turns into chaos. Finally, at the speed of light, everything collapses into one single point. But beyond this point everything resets, and something completely new and unknown begins, getting into a new dimension.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- There are two versions of the pendant, a regular one that is approximately 3,4x2,2cm in size, and large one that is around 5,4x3,2cm. The earrings are 3,4x2,2cm. The pieces are available in 6 types of metal, namely 18k and 14k white gold with palladium, 18k and 14k yellow gold, as well as rhodium-plated sterling silver and vermeil.

- Production Technology
- The production involves manual design, 3D design and prototyping, high precision casting, laser and manual welding, as well as manual finishing. For sterling silver rhodium-plated and 24k gold vermeil versions, it also involves electroplating.
- Design Challenge
- The design challenge was to express the speed and acceleration of objects into a still piece of jewelry. The production challenge was to reproduce all small details accurately.
- Research
- As part of the design preparation, I have double-checked my understanding of the theory with an engineer. When modeling the piece, the proportions of details have been calculated to create the impression of increasing speed, while ensuring the feasibility and practicality of production.
- Inspiration
- This piece is dedicated to the ever increasing speed of everything going around that we witness, especially since the beginning in the 21st century. Faster inventions, faster computing clouds, social networks, shorter attention spans, everything gets faster and faster. As per Einstein, when objects approach the speed of light, they get smaller and heavier, and even the time itself slows down. Now imagine what happens beyond the speed of light...
- Project Duration
- Faster than Light was first conceived in 2017, and first presented to public in 2018 on 10eme Salon Creations de Brabant Wallon, Belgium.
- Operation Flow
- You can wear the pendant on a chain as a necklace. A good fit is the chain type called "Gourmette", just like the one you can see on the pictures. The same design also exist as earrings. For evening gowns, one can use larger size pendant in the front, and a smaller size backdrop pendant, combined with earrings. You may choose the metal color to match your style, dress, or mood.
