About Gold Wind of Life 펜던트

골드 윈드 오브 라이프(Gold Wind of Life)는 3D 프린팅 기술로 제작된 펜던트다. 기본 소재는 로듐 도금 황동이며, 펜던트는 섬세한 9K 화이트 골드 커브 체인과 함께 구성된다. 펜던트의 지름은 3센티미터, 체인의 길이는 45센티미터다. 이 디자인은 그리스 문화와 미니멀리즘 양식, 그리고 오디세아스 엘리티스의 시 한 구절에서 영감을 얻었다. 적층 제조 방식은 정교한 표면 텍스처를 구현하는 동시에 작품을 가볍고 견고하게 유지한다. 골드 윈드 오브 라이프는 존재감 있는 스테이트먼트 주얼리로도, 은은한 액세서리로도 착용할 수 있다.

Unique Properties: This project stands out for its unique features that set it apart from other jewelry pieces. Firstly, the use of 3D printing technology allows for the creation of intricate and precise designs that would be difficult to achieve using traditional jewelry-making techniques. Secondly, the incorporation of Greek culture, including the poetry of Odysseus Elytis and the minimalistic style of Zoi Roupakia, adds a layer of meaning and significance to the design, making it unique and meaningful. Finally, the pendant features a unique artwork designed specifically for this project, resulting in a visually striking and one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.
Dimensions & Packaging: This is a pendant that has been produced using 3D printing technology, with the base material being rhodium-plated brass. It is accompanied by a 9ct white gold 18 diamond cut curb chain, which is delicate in nature. The pendant has a diameter of 3cm, while the chain's length is 45cm. The product is packaged in a box, with a small card that displays the title of the artwork's name.

Production Technology: Additive manufacturing. 3D Printing.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to design a visually appealing pendant that incorporates Greek culture and minimalistic style while overcoming the limitations of 3D printing technology and ensuring durability and lightness. The designer needed to represent cultural elements aesthetically and create an intricate design within 3D printing's technical constraints. The objective was to create a visually striking and meaningful pendant that meets technical and material requirements.
Research: This research project investigates the creation of a visually striking pendant using 3D printing technology and rhodium-plated brass. It incorporates elements of Greek culture and minimalist design inspired by Zoi Roupakia, as well as a line from a poem by Odysseus Elytis. The designer utilized CAD software to create a digital model of the pendant, which was refined and printed using a high-resolution 3D printer. The project demonstrates how cultural elements and artwork can be incorporated into the design process to create a unique and meaningful product.
Inspiration: This piece of art is influenced by Zoi Roupakia's minimalistic style and draws inspiration from elements of Greek culture. Specifically, it is inspired by the line "Gold wind of life..." from "The Little Mariner," a poem by Odysseus Elytis, a Greek poet who was awarded the Nobel Prize. This artwork is also a tribute to Alekos Fassianos, a renowned Greek painter.
Project Duration: The project started in 2018, in Cambridge, UK.
Operation Flow: The pendant is easy to operate, with the user attaching the chain and securing it using the clasp. It can be worn as a statement piece or a subtle accessory, adding sophistication and elegance to any outfit. Interacting with the pendant involves admiring the intricate design and texture achieved through 3D printing. The use of rhodium-plated brass and delicate 9ct white gold chain adds luxury and durability, complementing the overall aesthetic.
