About Fred Armband

Det finns många olika typer av armband och armband: designers, gyllene, plast, billiga och dyra ... men vackra som de är, de är alltid alltid enkelt och bara armband. Fred är något mer. Dessa manschetter i sin enkelhet återuppliva gamla tiders noblesse, men ändå är de moderna. De kan bäras på nakna händer samt på en sidenblus eller en svart tröja, och de kommer alltid att lägga en touch av klass till den som bär dem. Dessa armband är unika eftersom de kommer som ett par. De är väldigt lätta vilket gör att man bär dem olyckligt. Genom att bära dem kommer man att bli märkt!

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.
