About Eastern Blocks Betónové šperky
Eastern Blocks je kolekcia betónových šperkov inšpirovaná východoeurópskymi panelovými domami. Kolekcia zahŕňa náhrdelníky a náušnice, ktoré kopírujú tvary prefabrikovaných bytových domov. Betón je použitý preto, lebo ide o materiál, ktorý je ľahký, nealergénny a ťažko rozbitný. Každý kúsok vzniká ako trojrozmerná kresba, po ktorej nasledujú prototypy a silikónové formy na odlievanie. Hotové betónové časti sa následne spájajú so striebrom a kožou. Kolekcia pozýva k novému pohľadu na východoeurópske architektonické dedičstvo.

- 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.
