The Design

About Pencil Collection 브레이슬릿

이 디자인은 미학, 독창성, 창의성, 조형성이 하나의 작품 안에 융합된 결과물이다. 코스티스는 평범한 사물을 비범한 영역으로 끌어올리며, 모든 오브제 속 조형적 요소를 극대화하는 것을 즐긴다. 그는 단순한 일상용품을 예술 작품으로 승화시키는 도전에 매료되어 있다. 이 브레이슬릿은 연필의 아름다움을 드러낸다. 연필은 사물로서는 소박해 보일 수 있으나, 실은 코스티스의 창의성을 실현하는 바로 그 매개체다. 그는 연필로 자신의 드로잉을 만들어낸다. 이 브레이슬릿은 손을 부드럽게 통과해 손목을 따라 편안하게 감돌며 굴러간다.

Unique Properties: The Pencil Bracelet is a blend of Aesthetics, Originality, Creativity, Plasticity in a piece.
Costis loves to enhance the sculptural element in any object, by taking the ordinary and elevating it into the realm of extraordinary. He is intrigued by the challenge of elevating a simple, everyday item into a piece of art. This bracelet brings out the beauty of a pencil, which as an object may seem trivial, but is actually the mere medium of his creativity: he uses his pencil to create his drawings.

Production Technology: The idea strikes unexpectedly and is quickly sketched on paper. These rough sketches become detailed artistic drawings. Technical specifics are decided later in the workshop. Designs are then created in Rhino software, where Costis applies his modeling expertise for volume and proportion, the factors that can make or break a jewel. The process continues with resin prototyping, fusion, finishing, hand stone-setting, and rhodium plating.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was to obtain the correct volume of a rolled pencil, so that when worn, it could convey immediately to the actual object. Also, setting the graphite tip, in this case an especially cut ruby, also posed a challenge.
Research: My research evolved around the attempt to study how a pencil can be rolled around the wrist. The objective was to render the bracelet comfortable when worn, to choose the right distance between the two meeting edges, and to recreate all distinguishing characteristics, as the writing tip and the end of the graphite.
Inspiration: Costis loves to observe the world we live in. These
are the forms he re-creates through his jewelry, by enhancing the sculptural element in any object, by taking the ordinary and elevating it into the realm of extraordinary. He is intrigued by the challenge of elevating a simple, everyday item into a piece of art. This bracelet brings out the beauty of a pencil, which as an object may seem trivial, but it is actually the mere medium of his creativity: he uses his pencil to create his drawings.
Project Duration: The project started in Athens in September 2012, and was completed in Valenza, Italy in May 2023, to be ready for the Launch of Costis Jewelry in Neiman Marcus, USA.
Operation Flow: This bracelet offers its bearer the joy of wearing a piece that was inspired and transformed from an ordinary and humble object. It slides through the hand, and embraces it so gently, since the pencil rolls around the wrist very comfortably.
