About Bow Tie Papillon

Papillon è un accessorio indossabile realizzato in arenaria. La struttura di Papillon imita le formazioni rocciose naturali e trae ispirazione dalle formazioni di arenaria del Paradiso Boemo, nella Repubblica Ceca. La produzione unisce disegno a mano, modellazione tridimensionale, stampa tridimensionale, fresatura CNC e lavorazione manuale. Ogni pezzo viene rifinito a mano, così ogni accessorio è unico. L'oggetto misura 114 x 58 x 20 millimetri ed è solido ma leggero. Una fascia regolabile con nodo già fatto si adatta a quasi ogni collo. Dimensioni, colore e confezione possono essere personalizzati e la confezione realizzata a mano è inclusa.

Design Challenge: Inventing the technological process, so the sculpture was firm to the required shape and still with the original artwork reminiscent of rock formations.
Research: The research behind this object was to develop an innovative process to create well-balanced art resembling the inspiration from the Bohemian Paradise rock formations while the end product was sturdy but a lightweight.
