About Vestiges Cuff

Kufafanua upya mapambo ya Mashariki sio tu kwa aina zake za kawaida, lakini pia hujumuisha aesthetics yake na uwezo wa msukumo. Ufafanuzi upya ambao unafanana na nyakati za kisasa, kofia ya Vestiges inaonekana kana kwamba imechimbwa kutoka kwa uchimbaji wa kiakiolojia, kito ambacho hubeba alama za wakati na muundo uliojazwa na mchanga. Motifu ya msingi ya hexagonal, iliyopangwa katika nyota yenye ncha sita, huchota msukumo kutoka kwa nyota na anga, na kuibua dhana ya nguvu isiyo na kikomo kama inavyoonekana katika sanaa ya usanifu wa Kiislamu.

Design Challenge: The process involves designing complex 3D patterns and pushing the design to its technical limits in order to create delicate pieces that can be 3D printed in wax.
Research: Lines and curves create the patterns and subtle harmony of Moucharabieh jewelry. Their design is inspired by the richness of architecture and cultural history of creative lands, breaking free from boundaries to reveal unique intertwining designs. Each pattern is inspired by the art of Islamic geometric patterns found in ancient and contemporary architecture, representing a thousand-year-old heritage and creating high-end costume jewelry.
Inspiration: A unique 3D design inspired by Islamic architecture that allows you to relive the experience of wonder that comes from discovering art with hypnotic properties: the art of Islamic geometric patterns.
