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.

Nostalgium

Nostalgium is a silver ring inspired by traditional Persian houses. The design joins two frames. The circular frame recalls the courtyard pond of old Iranian architecture. The square frame recalls the window that geranium flowerpots once decorated. A leaf shape completes the piece and keeps the soft texture and fine veins of a geranium leaf. The ring body is made of 92.5 sterling silver, melted and then rolled, sawn and soldered. The leaf is built from layers of 99.9 fine silver clay and then fired. The intent is to recall pleasant memories of the past.

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.

Front

Front is a bracelet collection designed to be understood when viewed from the front. Each bracelet forms a complete circle, and the lines that create the decoration intersect with the outer circle. The decoration is placed inside the band rather than on the outer surface, so the sizing differs from usual standards. Each piece is symmetrical on the vertical axis and asymmetrical on the horizontal axis. The bracelets are produced by three-dimensional design and printing of a wax mold, followed by casting in silver. The result is light and durable for daily use.

Svper 11

Svper 11 is a wristwatch inspired by the NASA Apollo 11 mission. The dial is a three-dimensional topographic representation of Mare Tranquillitatis, the landing site area, with steps of 0.1 mm shaped to reproduce the terrain of the Moon. A four-arm seconds hand with a sweeping motion marks the landing location. The crown takes the shape of the oxygen valves of the NASA spacesuit. The case back is made of technical ceramic, a reference to the ceramic shield of the Space Shuttle. The case measures 42 by 42 by 12 mm and is water resistant to 10 ATM.

Eastern Blocks

Eastern Blocks is a concrete jewelry collection inspired by Eastern European panel blockhouses. The collection includes necklaces and earrings that follow the shapes of prefabricated apartment buildings. Concrete is used because the material is light, non-allergenic and not easily broken. Each piece starts as a three-dimensional drawing, followed by prototypes and silicone molds for casting. The finished concrete parts are then joined with silver and leather. The collection invites a fresh look at Eastern European architectural heritage.
