About Nostalgium Primary Function: Pete
Book Text: Nostalgium ni pete ya fedha iliyochochewa na nyumba za jadi za Kiajemi. Muundo huu unaunganisha fremu mbili. Fremu ya mviringo inakumbusha bwawa la ua la usanifu wa zamani wa Kiirani. Fremu ya mraba inakumbusha dirisha ambalo maua ya jerani yalilipamba wakati fulani. Umbo la jani linakamilisha kipande hiki na kudumisha muundo laini na mishipa mizuri ya jani la jerani. Mwili wa pete umetengenezwa kwa fedha safi ya 92.5 sterling, iliyoyeyushwa kisha kuvingirishwa, kukatwa na kuunganishwa kwa kulehemu. Jani limejengwa kutoka tabaka za udongo wa fedha safi ya 99.9 kisha kuchomwa. Nia ni kukumbusha kumbukumbu nzuri za zamani.

- Production Technology
- The making process of the rings gallery with the use of authentic traditional silver is a reminder of antiquity and nobility of the Persian houses. The 92.5 sterling silver was melted in workshop and then respectively was undergone rolling, sawing and soldering thus making the present shape. For the leaf-shaped part of the Nostalgium the art clay silver (fine silver) with 99.9 purity was used which was added layer by layer and then has been cooked.
- Design Challenge
- In this project the transformation of the Geraniums leaf to a lasting artefact which presents the softness of the leaf by keeping the velvety texture with its fragile midribs and veins, was a big deal and to solve this issue a lot of research, between art clay silver materials, was done to find the right one which possesses all the necessary conditions to transform the soft velvety leaf into a durable leaf with high-end texture; hence the mentioned silver was used.
- Research

This work with inspiration by the childhood nostalgia gives the user the ability to feel a good vibe, in addition to wearing a decorative artefact.
- Inspiration
- One of the many plants which has been present in old Persian houses is Geraniums. This plant is the popular flower of Persian grandmothers and is a reminiscent of the old Persian houses vibes where Orosi windows and courtyard pond with a lot of flowerpots are integral elements. The design has been inspired by the form of the pond, window and the eternal existence of Geraniums flowerpot with the aforementioned elements together.
- Project Duration
- Design and the ideation of this work has been started in middle of 2020 and was completed in the same year.
- Operation Flow
- This work includes two frames which the circular one represents the old courtyard pond in traditional Iran architecture and the square frame is a symbol of windows in those old houses where the Geraniums was the adornment of them.
