Om Rhapsody Halsband

Rhapsody är ett handgjort halsband tillverkat av 925 silver. Designen bygger på islamiska geometriska mönster som utvecklats under århundraden i Mellanöstern och Nordafrika. Skulpturala veck och rysch förvandlar dessa mönsters kantiga geometri till en bärbar form som följer människokroppen. Rhapsody tillverkas i Mashhad i Iran, en stad känd för traditionellt hantverk, med hjälp av traditionella verktyg, tekniker och material. Halsbandet mäter 175 gånger 160 gånger 45 millimeter. Avsikten är att förena ett rikt kulturarv med samtida smyckesdesign.

Material: Silver 925
Taggar: Jewelry, jewellery, necklace, art jewelry, art jewellery, geometric jewelry, geometric jewellery, contemporary jewelry, contemporary jewellery, accessories
Produktionsteknik: Design begins with searching through a variety of Islamic geometry sources to select capable patterns to be developed into a novel design. Designing continues with developing irritations through hybrid hands-on and digital process, and then narrowing down sketches and producing mock-ups. The next is trying mock-ups on the human body, collecting feedback from users, and refining the product through a round of revisions. The jewelries are hand-crafted with traditional techniques and material.
Designutmaning: In this project, we encountered two significant challenges. First, we are committed to design jewelleries that are innovative and fresh to a contemporary eye, while they are rooted in history. Tightrope walking and maintaining balance between the past and future is the hardest creative challenge we often encounter. Second complicated challenge we faced was to transform the angular geometry of architectural patterns into a sculptural and wearable form that fits and adorns the human body.
Forskning: In the first instance, I'm working with patterns and geometry embedded in Islamic architecture and design, which I have grown up surrounding by it, therefore it's organically inherent to my knowledge of design. Over the course of years, I have integrated the vernacular knowledge of Islamic geometry with the contemporary aesthetics and theories. For this project we searched through over 200 different patterns to find one through which we can develop a wearable, innovative, and elegant design.
Inspiration: This project is inspired by Islamic geometric patterns that have evolved over centuries in the Middle East and North Africa. The sculptural folds and ruffles recall the vicissitudes of history and life of these people, where its glory and beauty is woven together with pain and grief. And its rigidity and cohesion manifest the strength, richness and glory of a culture and people that have been hardened through conflicts and invasions and have been invincibled with the power of love and beauty.
Projektlängd: This project started in February 2020 in Mashhad, Iran and the first sample produced in December 2020. A' Design Award & Competition will be the premiere introduction of this product to the world.
Arbetsflöde: Influenced by the Middle-Eastern cultural pride and growing tendencies towards revisiting the heritage, in Arash Raad Design, we are dedicating our effort to create products that fulfills both the dignity of a rich culture, and the elegance of today. We believe “Rhapsody” conveys authenticity and novelty at the same time. To aim this goal, we combined vernacular knowledge and traditional tools and material with contemporary aesthetics and theories.
