Enigma of the coral / Francesca Torricella ( Zaier )

Posted in Design - Fashion by * FORMAKERS

Zaier experiments the contamination between techniques, from goldsmith’s art to lost wax and 3D modelling and printing, in cooperation with UNTERWELT.

The idea was born from the desire to explore innovative modelling systems, so as to reproduce the effect of the hand folded paper.

An iterative path, the paper will be the model for the central part (main body) of the rings, photographed and transformed into a digital file and finally printed out on a 3D printer.

The print out will be then integrated with traditional lost wax techniques to create the jewel.

The layered effect of the 3D printer bring personality and originality to the newly created object and they are therefore maintained and enhanced in the bronze model.
