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.

Line Rings Jewelry

Line Rings

Line Rings is a collection of nine rings designed to highlight the interaction between the wearer and the jewelry. A moveable sphere inside each ring slides along a track and gives feedback through sound, vibration and rotation. The collection was inspired by the labyrinth and by geometric architecture. Multi-segment structures create varied paths for the sphere. The rings are produced by three-dimensional printing and lost wax casting in brass with silver plating. Each ring measures approximately 4 by 4 by 4 centimeters.

Bigbang Watch

Bigbang

Bigbang is a mechanical wristwatch built around a multi-layer dial. The black and gold dial includes a hollow window on the right side, which shows the minute hand as a vertical movement instead of a circular one, expressing the passage of time. A 24-hour subdial with a double scale is large enough for easy reading and helps the wearer tell day from night. The thickness, height and hand length of each layer are closely controlled so that the hands remain well coordinated. The crown is placed between four and five o'clock for comfort.
