About Flaneur Ururinta Dahabka iyo Jawharada

Qoraalka Buugga: Flaneur waa ururin dahab iyo jawharo ah oo ku beddelta xogta dhaqdhaqaaqa shakhsiga ah qaab la xidhan karo. Alaab kastaa waxay u tarjumtaa jid socodka la duubay oo magaalo ah qaab saddex-cabbir ah, taasoo keeneysa in qof kasta oo xidha uu helo naqshad gaar ah. Ururintan waxaa lagu soo saaraa daabacaadda saddex-cabbirka leh, waxaana lagu isticmaalaa bir qaali ah iyo dhagxan opal ah. Midabada isbeddela ee dhagxanta opal-ku waxay tilmaamayaan nolosha maalinta iyo habeenka ee magaalada London, taasoo ah magaalada laga bilaabay shaqadan. Flaneur waxay dadka u ogolaataa inay ilaaliyaan diiwaan waarid ah oo ku saabsan safarrada iyo dalxiisyada maalinlaha ah.

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.
