collection intentions
CYBERPLAY offers an engaging activity for the wearer, combining both jewellery and play. it consists of three key components: colour, interchangeability and kinetic movement. PLA filament is the primary material used, as a compostable plastic it permits a lightness to the pieces. The jewellery pieces are interchangeable, their lightness adding to their versatility. together, these elements form an interactive experience, where the individual can combine and construct pieces to wear, keeping the activity of ‘play’ a key part of the collection.
