LACE – Jenny Wu und Stratasys arbeiten gemeinsam an Schmuck Kollektion
Die Künstlerin Jenny Wu und Stratasys arbeiten gemeinsam an einer Kollektion von Designer Schmuck.
Die Schmuck Linie LACE wird über Paddle8 versteigert. Der Ring, Papilio (im Beitragsfoto) wurde bereits am 28. August für 900$ versteigert. Das Design wurde speziell an den Meistbietenden angepasst und nur ein Mal produziert.
Die Kette Tangens wird in Schwarz, Weiß und Durchsichtig verfügbar sein.
I wanted to design a range of jewelry that could be avant-garde yet wearable, and approached it from my architectural heritage of spatial and line-based geometries to form a bold but soft spectacle for the body. From my 15 years’ experience with 3D printing for architectural projects, I knew it would deliver the capabilities to realize my creative vision for jewelry. 3D printing offers an elegant aesthetic and enables different layers and densities of fine and detailed pieces to be intertwined and produced within hours instead of months.
I enjoy the possibilities that FDM offers, as it enables me to directly manufacture jewelry pieces as opposed to just prototype. After some experimentation, I found that the ABS-M30 in particular was the best 3D printing material for Tangens. Its ability to execute accurate complex geometry with striations from the layering process gives the necklace a unique velvety quality, as well as a robust, thick structure, which results in a wearable item that is elegant, yet durable.
Naomi Kaempfer, Creative Director Art Fashion Design bei Stratasys:
It is a pleasure to share ideas and work closely with such a strong minded and distinguished designer, especially one who is so familiar with 3D printing capabilities. It encourages us to keep pushing more boundaries with our 3D printing technology.
When Jenny wore her first necklace, she was frequently asked where it could be purchased and now this is possible. I believe that these collaboration items in the LACE collection will be a great success and predict that there will be many more.
