About Dance Anatomy Koleksyon ng Alahas

Ang Dance Anatomy ay isang koleksyon ng alahas na hango sa contemporary dance. Ang tatlong obheto, na ginawa sa dalawang kulay, ay muling binibigyang-kahulugan ang katawan ng tao sa pamamagitan ng mga bionic na linya at hugis. Pinag-aralan ang mga nakapirming posisyon sa sayaw, at ang tensiyon, pagluwag, at pag-uunat ng mga kalamnan ay isinalin sa isang pinasimpleng grapikong wika. Ang mga hugis ay 3D printed sa nylon, na nagpapaging flexible sa mga piyesa at matibay laban sa pinsala. Dalawa sa tatlong obheto ang maaaring isuot bilang hikaw o bilang palawit, dahil ang pilak na earwire ay maaaring palitan ng laso o kadena.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award na Platino

Ang Dance Anatomy Koleksyon ng Alahas ay nagwagi ng A' Design Award na Platino, isang napakaprestihiyosong pagkilalang iginagawad sa mga tunay na pambihira, elegante at kahanga-hangang disenyo. Ang mga nagwagi ng Platino ay mga kababalaghan ng paglikha, patunay sa mga hangganan ng intelektuwal na pagkamalikhain, at nagpapakita ng walang kapantay na propesyonalismo at henyo ng kanilang mga tagapagdisenyo. Inaasahang ang mga disenyong ito ang pinakakilalang likha na humuhubog sa estetika ng isang panahon, nag-aambag sa kapakanan ng lipunan at nagtutulak sa mga hangganan ng sining, agham, disenyo at teknolohiya. Ang Dance Anatomy Koleksyon ng Alahas ay nagpapakita ng lampas-sa-karaniwang antas ng kahusayan at walang pasubaling ginagawang mas mabuting lugar ang mundo dahil sa kapaki-pakinabang at mahahalagang katangian nito. Ang Dance Anatomy Koleksyon ng Alahas ay isang likhang nagwagi ng A' Design Award na Platino na gumigising sa mga hangarin, nagbibigay-inspirasyon, nagpapasigla, nagpapasaya at nagpapasiklab ng dakilang kagalakan.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The Dance Anatomy collection represents a reinterpretation of the human body. The lines and shapes look bionic and could remind any other organic creatures. They are 3D-printed in nylon which makes them flexible and damage-resistant. 2 objects can be worn as earrings or pendants after simple replacement of the earwire with a lace or chain.
Dimensions & Packaging: Object 1: H - 10 cm W - 5 cm D - 1.5 cm
Object 2: H - 10 cm W - 4.3 cm D - 1.5 cm
Object 3: H - 4 cm W - 7.2 cm D - 1.5 cm
Tags: jewelry, design, pendants, earrings, rings, dance
Production Technology: 3D-modelling, 3D printing in nylon (polyamide). Silver earwire, textile lace.
The design was visualized in Rhinoceros, using Tsplines plugin.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of the research lied in the detection of the right principle that would allow transferring a dancer position into graphic language. The author studied different aspects of dancing, namely the geometry of different dance positions, the cinesphere of a dancing person but these principles did not lead to a necessary esthetic result. In the end the research of the muscles behavior allowed to achieve the right result.
Secondly, it was hard to create the 3D models of the objects as they consist of many lines that could not intersect.
Research: The objective of the research was to analyze the processes occurring in the body of a dancer and to choose a principle that would allow translating them into graphic language and into real objects. The designer took pictures of dancers in captured dance positions and analyzed muscle tension and stretching in different parts of their bodies. In order to detect the state of muscles the author consulted the anatomy book and a former dancer. The designer used a solid color for those muscles that were keeping balance and were the most tense, the waved lines - for muscles being more relaxed and straight lines - in order to show the stretched parts.
Inspiration: The Dance Anatomy collection was inspired by contemporary dance. In this work I studied the fixed positions of dancers and the processes existing in their bodies. For example, some muscles are tense and some are relaxed, others are stretched. I have translated these processes into the simplified graphic language and came up with the forms and silhouettes that further became wearable objects (earrings, pendants, rings).
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 in Moscow and finished in the end of June 2019 in Moscow. It was exhibited in Zveno jewelry shop and gallery.
Operation Flow: There are 3 objects in this collection, represented in 2 colors. The 2 of 3 can be worn as earrings or pendants. The leather lace or silver ear fixture can be easily inserted and removed when needed.
