Plankton Pendant (Brass) – Nervous System

Description

Plankton Pendant Brass by Nervous system is an elegant 3D printed piece of Jewelry whose shape is inspired by cellular structures in nature.

This brass pendant is inspired by the forms of radiolaria, microscopic sea organisms which construct incredible glass skeletons. Its microstructure is adapted to its boundary, becoming denser and more elongated at the periphery. It hangs from an 18″ (45,7 cm) gold-filled chain.

The Plankton Pendant is part of the “Corollaria Collection” a jewelry collection inspired by cellular structures in nature. Each algorithmically designed piece is made up of an intricate filigree, which varies in density and direction.

The collection fuses new technologies and old. Computationally generated designs are etched from brass sheets and shaped into 3D forms in a hydraulic press.
