ARENA

Year: 2021
Tools: Autocad, Keyshot, Adobe (Photoshop & Illustrator)

Arena is a jewellery collection that explores the organic forms and textures of the ocean, reimagined through advanced 3D modeling and printing techniques. The collection emphasizes the fusion of nature-inspired design with innovative manufacturing methods, pushing the boundaries of creativity and precision in jewellery design.

CONCEPT & INSPO

The Arena collection is inspired by the textures and forms of coastal environments, including the intricate structures of sea urchins and shells, as well as the bold shapes of rocks sculpted by waves. A moodboard of organic forms played a key role in the creative process, helping to explore complex geometries and translate them into wearable designs.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Here is an overview of the design and development process behind the collection, showcasing how creativity and technology came together to bring the concept to life.

3D MODELING

Each piece in the Arena collection was meticulously crafted using 3D modeling software (such as Autocad), blending intricate details, flowing patterns, and geometric structures inspired by marine life and coastal landscapes. The designs achieve a harmonious balance between complexity, functionality, and wearability, utilizing advanced techniques to reflect the ocean’s delicate yet bold forms.

PROTOTYPING

The initial prototypes were created using resin-based 3D printing, an affordable and efficient method for testing and refining designs.

This stage allowed me to evaluate the proportions, details, and ergonomics of each piece. By iterating on these prototypes, I ensured that the final designs would be both visually striking and practical to produce.

VISUALIZATION

To bring the collection to life, I created realistic renders of the final designs. These renders were essential in visualizing how each piece would look in its final material and finish.

The renders highlight the interplay between texture, form, and light, offering a preview of the pieces’ final aesthetic before moving into production.

PRODUCTION

The collection is designed to be produced using advanced 3D printing techniques, such as stereolithography, in ceramic materials. This method ensures high precision and a refined finish, perfectly suited to the intricate details of the Arena designs.

These production-ready designs represent the culmination of a thoughtful process that blends creativity, technology, and craftsmanship.

PACKAGING & WEB

The packaging and web design of Arena embody innovation and sustainability. The minimalist, eco-friendly packaging enhances the unboxing experience while reflecting the brand’s identity. Similarly, the website offers a sleek, user-friendly interface inspired by coastal landscapes, allowing users to explore the collection effortlessly.
