Unique Properties: The jewelry piece uses a great classic of the furniture design as its main headline. All the empty elements on metal sheet, the volume and the wood detail were designed aiming the balance of materials and light weightness.
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimensions (mm): Width 66 x Depth 55 x Height 60, Weight: 85g
Tags: Bracelet, Cuff, Thonet, Jewelry, Jewellery, Woven Cane, Web
Production Technology: Materials: Brass, wood, silver plated. The metals pieces are laser cut, bended into a cuff shape then plated separately. The thin wooden sheet is glued to the base metal and the top metal element is fixed by small rivets.
Design Challenge: The project had 2 big challenges. The first and the bigger one was to transform a multi layer braided fiber into a flat single metal sheet. Even being flated, the sheet had to look like the real woven cane web. The other challenge was how to fix the top metal sheet on the base one, since all the metal were plated and welding wasn't an option.
Research: The research was made using a real woven cane chair, measuring the entire braided pattern, sketching over it. After the vetorial drawing, many tests were made to determinate the size of the empty elements.
Inspiration: The 150th anniversary of Thonet's most popular design served as inspiration for the creation. The object of inspiration consists in handed woven cane seat and backrest and a wooden frame structure. The goal was to take the web pattern of the Thonet's chair, but using the metal as the main element of the jewelry.
Project Duration: The project started with its first sketches in September 2011 in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. After drafts, alterations and prototypes, the project was launched in March 2012.
Operation Flow: Body ornament worn on the wrist or lower forearm
