About Fusion Colecție de Bijuterii

Fusion este o colecție de bijuterii realizată din argint, formată dintr-un inel și un colier. Un algoritm generează un schelet Voronoi, folosit ca metaforă pentru conexiunea organică a formelor. Formele îmbină trăsături precum desfacerea aripilor de fluture și deschiderea mugurilor. Diferite unghiuri de vizualizare dezvăluie trăsături biomorfe diferite. Ambele piese sunt modulare, astfel încât pot fi combinate cu alte accesorii și purtate în mai multe moduri. Colecția este modelată 3D, printată 3D și turnată în argint prin metoda cerii pierdute.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The collection is a fusion of the natural and the artificial, a collaboration between the designer's perceptual thinking and the algorithms. The algorithm is used to generate a Voronoi skeleton as a biological metaphor for the organic connection of forms. Different viewing angles reflect various biomorphic features, creating a subtle sense between the familiar and the unfamiliar. The delicate skeletal structure and lighting effects provide the user with a unique sensory experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: The ring is 54*25*40mm, the necklace is 51*39*45mm.
Tags: organic shape, contemporary jewelry, 3d printing, generative art, jewelry, wearable art, parametric design
Production Technology: 3d-modelling, 3d-printing, lost wax casting, silver
Design Challenge: As an information experience designer who loves to challenge interdisciplinary design, I wanted to integrate the speculative design spirit of my discipline into the accessories, making the collection an inspiring narrative and reflection, more than just an aesthetic expression and decoration. The biggest challenge was integrating narrative and form as I tried to convey a complex idea. At the same time, ergonomics and processing technics also posed a challenge for me.
Research: With the development of genetic science, now we see the most fundamental codes of life as never before and even got hearts made of leaves and kidneys from pigs as transplants. In the future, no doubt more non-human components will become part of us, but what will a man be when he/she/they is made of parts that are not human? We and other creatures on earth evolved from some primordial mass of organic matter, and in the future, we will probably fuse again as one in a genetic way.
Inspiration: This collection is inspired by the concepts of genetic fusion and convergent evolution in biology, extracting the 'genes' of form from different species using movement as logic and fusing them to think about the homology and convergence of biological evolution: 'all as one, one as all.' It takes the movement 'stretch' as a starting point, blending features such as the spreading wings of butterflies, the uncurled back of humans, and the blooming of buds into the design of organic forms.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2021 in London and finished in February 2022 in London, and is not exhibited yet.
Operation Flow: This collection contains two pieces, both are modular, and users can wear them in various ways by combining different accessories.
They can be randomly generated multiple times; each individual is a member of a population, sharing the typical characteristics of the population but unique.
