About Eastern Blocks Firavaka Simenitra
Eastern Blocks dia fanangonana firavaka simenitra nahazoana aingam-panahy avy amin'ny tranobe be efitrano tany Eoropa Atsinanana. Ahitana rojo sy kavina izay manaraka ny endriky ny tranobe fonenana efa vita mialoha ity fanangonana ity. Ny simenitra no ampiasaina satria maivana io akora io, tsy mahatonga aleryjia ary tsy mora vaky. Ny sombiny tsirairay dia manomboka amin'ny sary telo refy, arahin'ny modely fitsapana sy ny lasitra silikaona ho an'ny fanaovana. Ny ampahany simenitra vita dia ampifandraisina amin'ny volafotsy sy hoditra. Ity fanangonana ity dia manasa hijery amin'ny fomba vaovao ny lova ara-drafitrasa Eoropeana Atsinanana.

- Production Technology
- I chose concrete material - light, non-allergenic, and less fragile to create an ode of a brutalist dystopia. First of all, I designed 3d drawings, made prototypes, and then, started to create molds for concrete details with silicon. When the concrete pieces were finished, I started metalworking with silver and leather materials.
- Design Challenge
- To find a form, which would be understandable, that it's blockhouse jewelry, but minimalist, aesthetic and impressive.
- Research
- I made monitoring of the architecture and society attitude of Eastern European houses. My objective was to find a way, how to talk about post-Soviet society and Eastern European architecture heritage in fashion accessories. The main point is to start a discussion with locals' minds about this unique architecture and spread this wearable message. In this collection, I question people’s attitudes towards Soviet heritage and invite you to take a fresh look at Soviet architecture and society's illusions.
- Inspiration
- The collection was inspired by Eastern European panel blockhouses as an iconic modern community symbol. Shapes of panel buildings and us - people, who live in individuality fiction, because the truth is that only a few centimeters between the walls separate us and our individuality is just fiction in this world.
- Project Duration
- This project started as an idea 2018 but I finished this collection 2020.
- Operation Flow
- Wearable jewelry made of concrete. Light, strong, and non - allergic material make jewelry more comfortable and wearable. This technology and design give a chance to wear architecture in real form and material as a piece of jewelry.
