About Freeze Functio Primaria: Ornamentum Transformabile Compositum

Textus Libri: Frigus est ornamentorum compositum transformabile quod tamquam fibula, tamquam inaures, aut tamquam pendens gestari potest. Nucleus hexagonalis claustrum magneticum gerit cum quattuor formis diversis, quae cum quattuor generibus tenuis laminae titanii componi possunt. Acus opus in fibulam vertit, dum lingula usum tamquam pendens vel inaures permittit. Octo et quadraginta compositiones fieri possunt. Partes argenteae digitaliter formantur, imprimuntur, funduntur et poliuntur. Partes titanii radio laseris secantur, poliuntur et anodisantur. Formae hexagonales varietatem nivium in natura repertarum sequuntur.

Tags: transformer, magnetic, snowflake, jewellery, design
Production Technology: Materials: silver, titanium, neodymium magnets.
Silver parts were 3D constructed, printed and casted. Then polishing and assembling.
Titanium part were laser cuts, polished and anodised.
Inspiration: Originally this collection was inspired by the diversity of snowflakes. It's impossible to count variety of these nature-made fractals. So designer wanted to create something that can be transformed many times and each combination can be different.
Original form of every snowflake is hexagon, so the core element has hexagon form as well.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2018 and finished in January 2019 in Moscow
