Project Description

MAGLAB Wearable printed products are ongoing research into the transference of digital process into contemporary design. Here, we presented a new Accessories and jewelry collection designed by MAGLAB, The collection explores a new design language that forms a dialogue between time, form and Technologies combining the pioneering organic design of nature, We explored the geometric laws behind natural forms to recreate them as parametric digital models, which fabricated using the 3D printers into a wearable products. 

The developed forms are a translation from nature language by a parametric associated software and 3D printed to final wearable products. 
We displayed the astounding contraption forms to looks almost like a seashells or eroded sedimentary rock, sometimes mimics bone. Erosion shaped as honeycombed appearance, all that belongs in the nature where we get inspired and got our info. 

Taken out of craft and into the 21st century progressive domain of polymerization and industry, MAGLAB wearable printed products are a collection, acknowledges this lineage but pushes the boundaries between material structures and form into a new modern territory, parametrically conceived and diametrically opposed to modernism in its expression.
The design of the pieces uses a complex, interlocking elements to create a bold statement around the body. 

The design explores the very important concept of unrestricted data flows accorded by modern technology which often grants more access than required.
The pieces also serve as a kind of innovative discourse that emphasized the use of 3-d printing to the jewelry and accessories industry. 

The initial design began with studding and exploring the geometric laws behind natural forms such as the seashells, eroded sedimentary rock, where computer which generated a 3-d options of the forms that was then turned into the geometric forms were based off of. 

The objects produced are wearable due to the computational techniques used, making them wearable due to how the forms adapt to the form of the human body.
