The Design

About Bow Tie Fluga

Fluga är ett bärbart accessoar tillverkat av sandsten. Flugans struktur efterliknar naturliga bergformationer och är inspirerad av sandstensformationerna i det böhmiska paradiset i Tjeckien. Tillverkningen kombinerar skissning, tredimensionell modellering, tredimensionell utskrift, CNC-fräsning och handarbete. Varje exemplar färdigställs för hand, vilket gör varje accessoar unik. Föremålet mäter 114 x 58 x 20 millimeter och är stabilt men ändå lätt. Ett justerbart förknutet band passar nästan alla halsar. Storlek, färg och förpackning kan anpassas, och handgjord förpackning ingår.

Design Challenge
Inventing the technological process, so the sculpture was firm to the required shape and still with the original artwork reminiscent of rock formations.
Research
The research behind this object was to develop an innovative process to create well-balanced art resembling the inspiration from the Bohemian Paradise rock formations while the end product was sturdy but a lightweight. Also, a lot of research went into the finishing and possible customizations such as size, color, and hand-made packaging.
Inspiration
The exclusive structure of the Yakobium sandstone bow tie is inspired by Bohemian Paradise in the Czech Republic and its unique rock formations. Since the site and the rock formations are marked as national heritage, crafting an object of this unique piece of nature is out of the question. So, with our unique technological process, everyone can enjoy the unique structures without harming nature. The inspiration comes from visits to the national heritage site.
Project Duration
The project started in 2012 with a sandstone illuminated sculpture prototype. In 2019, a special edition of bow ties has been created to make a wearable product to be accessible to masses.
Operation Flow
The bow tie sculpture can be worn like any other bow tie on the market. It has an adjustable, pre-tied band that fits almost any neck. It has an awesome nature-like feeling in touch. The small sand particles do shine and reflect light.
