About Faster Than Light Pendant Sy Kavina

Ny firavaka Faster Than Light dia manome ny hafainganana sy ny fanafainganana amin'ny alàlan'ny firavaka metaly. Ny foto-kevitra dia azo jerena amin'ny alalan'ny jeometrika kajy tsara ny endrika sy ny sary sokitra tsara. Ny famolavolana dia aingam-panahy avy amin'ny hafainganam-pandehan'ny fiainana tsy mitsaha-mitombo, manomboka amin'ny famoronana ka hatramin'ny teknolojia ka hatramin'ny fifandraisan'ny olombelona. Araka ny voalazan'ny teoria momba ny relativité, rehefa mihamitombo mankany amin'ny hafainganam-pandehan'ny hazavana ny zavatra, ny rafitra ary ny poti-javatra, dia mihakely izy ireo, mitombo ny faony, ary farany dia mirodana ho teboka tokana. Mihoatra an'io teboka io, rehefa miha haingana kokoa noho ny hazavana ny hafainganam-pandeha, manomboka ny tsy fantatra...

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties
This design visualizes the accelerating objects, structures and particles. The further the speed increases, the smaller the objects get, and the structures turns into chaos. Finally, at the speed of light, everything collapses into one single point. But beyond this point everything resets, and something completely new and unknown begins, getting into a new dimension.
Dimensions & Packaging
There are two versions of the pendant, a regular one that is approximately 3,4x2,2cm in size, and large one that is around 5,4x3,2cm. The earrings are 3,4x2,2cm. The pieces are available in 6 types of metal, namely 18k and 14k white gold with palladium, 18k and 14k yellow gold, as well as rhodium-plated sterling silver and vermeil.

Production Technology
The production involves manual design, 3D design and prototyping, high precision casting, laser and manual welding, as well as manual finishing. For sterling silver rhodium-plated and 24k gold vermeil versions, it also involves electroplating.
Design Challenge
The design challenge was to express the speed and acceleration of objects into a still piece of jewelry. The production challenge was to reproduce all small details accurately.
Research
As part of the design preparation, I have double-checked my understanding of the theory with an engineer. When modeling the piece, the proportions of details have been calculated to create the impression of increasing speed, while ensuring the feasibility and practicality of production.
Inspiration
This piece is dedicated to the ever increasing speed of everything going around that we witness, especially since the beginning in the 21st century. Faster inventions, faster computing clouds, social networks, shorter attention spans, everything gets faster and faster. As per Einstein, when objects approach the speed of light, they get smaller and heavier, and even the time itself slows down. Now imagine what happens beyond the speed of light...
Project Duration
Faster than Light was first conceived in 2017, and first presented to public in 2018 on 10eme Salon Creations de Brabant Wallon, Belgium.
Operation Flow
You can wear the pendant on a chain as a necklace. A good fit is the chain type called "Gourmette", just like the one you can see on the pictures. The same design also exist as earrings. For evening gowns, one can use larger size pendant in the front, and a smaller size backdrop pendant, combined with earrings. You may choose the metal color to match your style, dress, or mood.
