About Fred Armbånd
Det finnes mange forskjellige typer armbånd og armringer: designermodeller, gull, plast, billige og dyre... men så vakre de enn er, er de alle alltid bare armbånd. Fred er noe mer. Disse mansjettene gjenoppliver i sin enkelhet fordums edelhet, men er samtidig moderne. De kan bæres på bar hud så vel som over en silkebluse eller en svart genser, og vil alltid tilføre personen som bærer dem et preg av klasse. Disse armbåndene er unike fordi de kommer som et par. De er svært lette, noe som gjør dem behagelige å bære. Ved å bære dem vil man garantert bli lagt merke til!

- Production Technology
- Cuffs are made out of light white plastic used for billboards.
- Design Challenge
- The real challenge was finding the way to bend the material at home without professional machines and to find something that would look as a cuff link. But it also was a work with many gleeful errors.
- Research
- The research was focused on finding the right dimension for the cuffs and finding the way to make something weareable out of the material ment for something else.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration: I often go to the theatre and like to dress for the occasion. I like to have something new and different every time I go. Once while I was thinking what to wear this time, there was a movie with Fred Astaire on the TV. I saw his sleek suit, his cuffs… and voila – the idea was born! I remembered cuffs and plastrons worn by men in the last century and decided to revive it in a modern way, this time as a part o woman garment.
- Project Duration
- The project started in March of 2012. in Zagreb and was finished in two weeks. During that time I was trying to find out the right dimension for comfortable wearing bracelets and the way to bend the plastic at home.
- Operation Flow
- The research was focused on finding the right dimension for the cuffs.
