| DESIGN NAME: Parametric Titanium Choker PRIMARY FUNCTION: Parametric Design INSPIRATION: The mathematical model discovered by the Russian mathematician G. Vorony, which describes the fundamental structural principal of almost all physical systems, lies at the basis of this design. Thanks to the development of 3D simulation programs that are based on the generation of random numbers, we came across the possibility to produce similar structures. We neither analogize nature nor attempt to copy its pattern. Rather, we create geometry according to to the same logic nature does. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: For the first time we have created jewelry in parametric design, fulfilled it in titanium and with an extra-quality finish. This design is a new word in jewelry, inspired by contemporary architecture and natural forms. Its fulfillment is a precedent in jewelry art because of the combination its unique material, massive scale and detailed finish. The color is obtained by a special chemical treatment and makes it pop out, opposed to traditional gold and silver colors of metals used in jewelry. Altogether, it is a radical artistic experience oriented towards the future. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The unique blue color of this piece is achieved due to a complex chemical treatment, it gives a noble chameleon effect after contacting skin. To restore the original color, rinse in warm water and let dry. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was started in October 2015 in Moscow and finished in June 2016 in Moscow. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: We work with titanium. It provides us new dimensions in jewelry. First, it's very light, thus we have have created an large object that is easy to wear. Secondly and still more interesting, we can turn it practically any iridescent color of the rainbow using a complex chemical treatment. We have also used a 18ct logo. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 134mm x Depth 150mm x Hight 92mm TAGS: titanium, parametric, jewelry, choker, voronoi RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Eiffel and Shukhov worked with strict geometric forms, while natural configurations are not linear. Emulating these sorts of constructions is much more complex. It was made possible thanks to the advent of two technological innovations: a random (and pseudorandom) number generator and a 3D simulation program based on this generator. The replication of natural constructions using these technologies is called parametric design. The first artist to reveal parametric concepts to the world was Zaha Hadid, and by doing so, literally overturned all notions of contemporary architecture. CHALLENGE: We work with titanium. We are the first on the Russian market to create such ambitious pieces out of this unyielding metal. The goal of our work is to popularize Russian science and its achievements. We want to develop our potential for domestic manufacturing. We believe that we can create works at the highest level in our country, which will attract admirers from around the globe. Each of our collections will be made using new materials and will reflect the latest ideas and scientific theories.

NAME: I-O-U design studio & research lab PROFILE: By using the latest scientific developments and drawing on incredible technological power, I-O-U has created weightless adornments unlike anything to precede them in the history of jewelry. Production combines parametric design and performance in titanium. By developing the brand and devising its new collections, I-O-U are not simply offering jewelry - they are telling a whole history of achievements in the combination of art, science, and technology. The brand I-O-U design studio & research lab started as the brainchild of Alexandra Grishina and Tatiana Bortnik. Alexandra is a jeweler whose long-standing craft has been both independent, as well as part of teams in some of Russia's leading jewelry houses. Alexandra creates jewelry by herself, with her own two hands. Creating her own brand is the next logical step in her career. Tatiana is an art historian specializing in contemporary art. She plays an active role in academia and education. What unites these two young women with such different backgrounds is a passion for the natural sciences and a philosophical approach to life. Do you recall Robert A. Heinlein's aphorism that "specialization is for insects?" This is apposite to our heroines, who by night would peruse scientific works on higher mathematics, physics and biology so as to fuse their interests and professional skills and create jewelry that is unlike anything on the market. |
