About Tao 주얼리 컬렉션

Tao는 중국 전통 태극 문양에서 영감을 받은 주얼리 컬렉션이다. 컬렉션은 뱅글, 귀걸이, 목걸이, 반지로 구성된다. 공간적 사고를 통해 태극 문양을 여러 구조로 해체하여 다양한 방식으로 착용할 수 있도록 했다. 축을 이용해 귀걸이의 절반을 180도 회전시킬 수 있어, 둥근 형태가 긴 귀걸이로 변형된다. 목걸이 내부의 실리콘 스토퍼는 체인 길이를 조절할 수 있게 하며, 버클을 활용하면 목걸이가 짧은 이중 체인으로 바뀐다. 각 제품은 황동 소재에 은 또는 24K 금 도금으로 마감되었다.

Unique Properties: Tao jewellery collection draws inspiration from the Chinese traditional Taichi pattern. By using a spatial thinking, the pattern is deconstructed and diversified into several "Taichi" structures with different wearabilities. Movement and multi-way for wearing are introduced to the earring and necklace piece to bring the vitality and delight for the wearing experience.

Tags: Fashion jewelry, Chinese Traditional culture, 3d printing
Production Technology: Production includes sketching, 3d modeling, 3d printing, handicraft, and finishing. The jewelry collection is made by brass with silver/24k gold plated.
Design Challenge: Decision making runs through every stage of the design and prototyping. Whether to remain the pattern of 3D printing and how; where to build the inlet and the support structures; how to turn the movable structure of the jewelry into reality and function well...As a designer and the 3D modeler of the project, I needed to adjust the 3D models and helped the factory to solve the problems, thinking through practicing.
Research: Taichi pattern has a history of 3000 years in China. It represent a philosophy of perfection, harmony, the infinite potential and the energy. I dug into the pattern, using sketches, paper models, 3D digital modeling to help me to understand the movement and energy that generated by the dance of Yin and Yang, and translated the energy inside the Taichi pattern into vibrant and graceful jewelry.
Inspiration: Taichi is a Chinese philosophical and cosmological concept for the "Supreme Ultimate" state of undifferentiated absolute and infinite potential, the oneness before duality. The pattern of Taichi is a symbol of perfection, harmony, the infinite potential and the energy.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2017 in Beijing and finished in February 2018 in Beijing.
Operation Flow: There is an axle on the earring and it allows half part of the earring to rotate 180 degrees, and the ear stud on one half of the earring could pass through the hole on the other half, so the earring could transform from a stable round shape to a dynamic long earring.
Tiny silicone stoppers are used inside the back of the necklace so the necklace chain is adjustable.
The buckle at the end of the necklace could be linked at the back of the neck so the necklace could transform into a double-chain short necklace.
