DESIGN NAME: TREE in the idea 100% METAL
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bracelets/Collection
INSPIRATION: 1) Tree - Beautiful and unique. Tree bark just like human fingerprints,
2) Metal - industrial materials ( sieves ) made from metal and their interesting plastic properties
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Tree - it is a collection of bracelets in which searching for new plastic forms is based on the idea 100% METAL and metal is the only plastic material used for this collection.
The main aim of the project is discovering new plastic capabilities of metal.
The structure of tree bark acted as an inspiration for creating new plastic forms of surfaces and unique structure of metal.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Bracelets with unique shape and surface immitating tree bark.
Made in from metal with the structure of fabric.
Finishing technique enables the artist to shape the surface into such forms which give the impression and look of organic objects.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: TREE is a collection based on using metal of various surface structures and mastering the technique of exploiting unlimited plastic properties of metal.
The base of TREE collection was developed in the year 2007 with several jewellery items created every year. Its production technique was developed in the same way as for making most repetitive items but it is the last finishing stage which gives each bracelet unique character and look.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Fine Arts and Art Installation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: - the structure - stainless steel in the form of fabric with project technical specification - 100% METAL .
- magnetic clasp, made in clasp casting technique
- colour - mixed/ own techniques,
Metal sheets formed in several stages. First on the repetitive base of the system and finally - shaped by hand. Such a process gives the artist the possibility of creating repetitive items with unique final form. Unique like tree bark.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: stainless steel, silver 925 ( magnetic clasp)
190 x 80 x 10 mm
TAGS: Jewellery, Fashion Jewellery, stainless steel, bracelet, steel, art design jewellery, silver
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Tree - it is a collection of bracelets in which searching for new plastic forms is based on the idea 100%METAL and metal is the only plastic material used for this collection.
Attempting to change the image of metal perceived as a hard material with limited plastic properties.
The structure of tree bark acted as an inspiration for creating new plastic forms of surfaces and unique structure of metal.
CHALLENGE: Attempting to change the image of metal perceived as a hard material with limited plastic properties.
Developing the technique of shaping metal and using stainless steel material with appropriate parameters.
Shaping the surface of bracelets characterised by spatial and plastic form.
The bracelet with the structure inspired by tree bark is mastered to such a detail that it gives the impression of organic material.
