“Possible But Improbable Spaces”: From Interior Design Experience to Jewellery Creation

Abstract

The present project was born from the interaction between jewellery scale and interior design principles. We had started with drawings and cardboard models around housing typologies inspired by nature, by its asymmetric and modular geometrical shapes, by its capacity to metamorphose. This experimental process was the platform for the creation of contemporary jewellery lines, focusing main principles such as spatiality, abstraction, mutability, versatility ad ergonomics. We had explored the movement of undulating surfaces, the relation between shadow and light, scale variations, the opposition between empty and full spaces, chromatic or texture contrast. On the other hand, jewellery can be an extension of our selves just like interior design, assuming changes everyday life according to our mood. Our methodology also includes 3D software and 3D prototypes without forgetting traditional jewellery skills or the assemblage technique applied to the most recent pieces. From printed components, wastes or mass-produced objects that are no longer useful, crossed with a traditional material like copper, we proceed to the production of limited series pieces suitable for a public who values jewels by its unique design regardless of the value of its material.
