About Tambourine B Armreif

Tambourine B ist ein Armreif, der vom Tamburin inspiriert ist – einem Schlaginstrument, das den Rhythmus der Musik vervollständigt. Der Armreif besitzt einen beweglichen inneren Ring, der sich im äußeren Ring verschiebt und bei jeder Bewegung der Trägerin einen sanften Klang erzeugt. Die präzise Passung der beiden Ringe macht die Konstruktionsweise komplex. Für das Schmuckstück wurde Sterlingsilber verwendet. Handskizzen wurden in digitale Modelle übertragen und in Harz gedruckt, anschließend gegossen, gelötet, poliert und von Hand versilbert. Die leichte, minimalistische Form versteht sich als Symbol für Leben, Tanz und Musik.

Production Technology
Bracelets in s925
The primitive sketches of bracelets were performed by hand and then inverted to Matrix gemvision software to get ProJet 3-D printed resin models. Final products get soldered and installed together and after this step, the bracelet gets polished and sanded by hand right after the Casting with s925 and the molding processes. Silver plating was the last phase had done for smoothing and polishing the surface color.
Design Challenge
The bracelet production was the most challenging stage of the work. Since, the bracelet has a mobile part inside. Anyhow, this bracelet must be produced in 3 parts and then soldered, finally, the finishing must be made. The main challenge is to choose the 3-D printing method over the laser cut. The laser-cut is very precise and fast and the final product is very clean and accurate; Since the thickness of the bracelet lines is more than 1.5 mm, unluckily, it is beyond the power of existing devices in Iran. Thus, the ProJet 3D printing resin and metal casting method were selected for production.
Research
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in the terms of energy, frequency, and vibration," says Tesla. In Tolkien's world, Iluvatar created the Ainur, taught them music, and finally created what they played as a universe. The tambourine is an ancient instrument in the percussion family. It has small metal jingles, called zills, around it. The designer believes the percussion instruments such as the tambourine are a fascinating combination of music and dance; her goal in designing and producing this bracelet was to create a symbol as a symbol of life, dance, and music.
Inspiration
Just close your eyes and listen to the universe. Can you hear? The voice of the wind, the water, and nature. The world is made of music and dance, sound and motion, love and laugh. The truth is the universe is an instrument, just like a tambourine. This is perfect integrity.
The Tambourine collection is inspired by an instrument with the same name. This little musical instrument completes the rhythm of the music. Playing it feels like making music and dancing at the same time.
Project Duration
The initial idea of the design and inspiration from the tambourine began in 2018. Researches about the instrument, simulations, and sketches continued until 2019. The production process finished in 2020. The process from idea to implementation has been done in Tehran.
Operation Flow
Durable for everyday use, lightweight, minimalistic, suitable for all ages and styles.
