About Flaneur Колекција накит

Фланер е колекција накит која ги претвора личните податоци за движење во носива форма. Секој накит претставува превод на снимена рута на одење низ градот во тридимензионален облик, така што секој носител добива уникатен дизајн. Колекцијата се произведува со тридимензионално печатење и користи благороден метал и опали. Променливите бои на опалите го отсликуваат дневниот и ноќниот живот на Лондон, градот што послужи како почетна точка. Фланер им овозможува на луѓето да чуваат траен запис на секојдневните патувања и патешествија.

Production Technology: 3D jewellery forms are designed to present 2D data visualisation manufactured through a 3D print technique, so that every individual has an opportunity to wear unique jewellery. Precious metal and opals are used in the collection. The colourful reflection in opals represents the colourful day and the night life of London.
Design Challenge: 1. In mass market, it is a new concept to combine big data and daily life events as an inspiration.
2. For narrative jewellery embedded with people’s own life track meaning, it has not been widely accepted by the public. Therefore, the operation mode still needs to be improved.
3. Personalised customer service is not a rapid marketing business model, which needs certain cost in time.
4. Castable resin is not an universally available material in 3D print field world-widely; therefore it might cause difficulty during the production process.
Research: Primary research step 1, exploring routes, surveys, street interviews, questionnaire, over 100 women living in London, 63% of women have ecorded their walking route in the past, women are free to walk in the city like a flaneur, the project has a big market.
