The Power of Pastry Interactive Jewellery Kit

The Power of Pastry

The Power of Pastry is a collection of interactive paper jewelry kits. The collection includes rings, bracelets and brooches, inspired by the making processes and structures of pastries. Each piece is folded directly from one prepared paper sheet, so no glue is needed. A recorded guide video explains every folding step. The kits are offered at different levels, from simple rings to more complex brooches. The paper is laser cut and engraved, and is left blank so that each user can add a personal style. The collection shows that jewelry need not rely on precious materials.

Dandelion Ring

Dandelion

Dandelion is a ring inspired by the form of the dandelion flower. The ring is composed of a group of petals, and each petal carries different details. Some petals are twisted, some are set with diamonds, and others are carved with fine lines. The piece is made of 18 carat gold in two colors, using several complex goldsmithing techniques. Curves and lines are used to express lightness and freedom. The engraving and the diamonds reflect light by day and by night. The shape of the band is formed to make the ring easy to wear.

Desert Desire Earrings

Desert Desire

There are some characteristics that distinguish these pieces and highlight the influence of graphic design. One is the iconicity of the shapes and the visual effect of three-dimensionality that is achieved, only, through textures and thread patterns. The second is the imperfection of each handmade piece. These geometric shapes assume accuracy but don't have it. Each curve and texture are different. They are imperfect but unique, as in nature, and explore the peculiarity of two worlds – cacti and snakes –making them harmoniously coexist in a system.

Biroi Jewelry Collection

Biroi

Biroi is a 3D printed jewelry series that is inspired by the legendary phoenix of the sky, who throws itself into the flames and reborn from its own ashes. Dynamic lines forming the structure and the Voronoi pattern spread on the surface symbolize the phoenix that revives from the burning flames and flies into the sky. Pattern changes size to flow over the surface giving a sense of dynamism to the structure. The design, which shows off a sculpture-like presence by itself, gives the wearer the courage to take a step forward by drawing out their uniqueness.

Front Bracelet

Front

Front is a bracelet collection designed to be understood when viewed from the front. Each bracelet forms a complete circle, and the lines that create the decoration intersect with the outer circle. The decoration is placed inside the band rather than on the outer surface, so the sizing differs from usual standards. Each piece is symmetrical on the vertical axis and asymmetrical on the horizontal axis. The bracelets are produced by three-dimensional design and printing of a wax mold, followed by casting in silver. The result is light and durable for daily use.

Adesse Watch

Adesse

Adesse is an ultra-minimalist watch that acts as a memento to enjoy the present. The minimalist approach to becoming 'present' is to remove the unnecessary. Adesse reimagines the traditional analog watch with minimalist principles, and questions what is absolutely necessary to tell the time. Do you really need to see the numerical indicators? The minute hand? The hour hand? Designed through subtraction, traditional watch features are removed. A sculptural piece is carved out of the watch face. The face rotates, covering and deliberately revealing just enough to tell the time.
