Lunar is Robert's project for timepiece company ZIIIRO. This watch creates a tie between the design and the nature of the object. If it wasn't a watch that naturally moves sunwise, it wouldn't be possible to read it. The edges of two semi-circles moving in clockwise direction show hours and minutes, they are both leveled at the same height which creates a flat surface. By the interlocking shapes, hands and watch face become one to create a constantly changing graphic.
The House of Sol lock, a revolutionary addition to contemporary jewelry, combines luxury and functionality. Crafted from high-quality materials like 24k gold, 14k gold adorned with diamonds, or gold-filled 925 silver, it offers unique customization. Its innovative dual-opening mechanism, operable with one hand, allows for easy swapping of elements such as pearls or turquoise, providing versatility in style. This detachable lock, compatible with various necklaces, challenges the norm of fixed locks in jewelry design and serves sustainability principles without compromising quality.
Flux Quadras is a mechanical wristwatch with an integrated bracelet. The layered case and seamless bracelet create a floating effect. The multi-layered dial has floating hour markers and a patterned backdrop for depth and clarity. The case is made of 904L stainless steel with an 800HV hardness coating, and measures 40mm in width and 12.5mm in height. A Swiss-made La Joux Perret G101 automatic movement is wound by wrist motion. The tool-less bracelet uses a patent-pending Nano-Adjust clasp that adapts passively for comfort.
The designer was fascinated by the geometrical form of a seed given to him by his daughter and he started the design. In nature, nothing is complete and everything is complete is the first thought one can think when one sees this pair of earrings. The ring has a smooth and beautiful shape, and the precious stones are like the seed coming out from the ground, waving for your attention. It's very unique, the nature, and of course the jewelry.
The Organic line works the fold by means of a rolled and, depending on the case, warped surface. The formal feature that articulates the product line is the cleft, both horizontally and vertically. This involves the transformation of flat geometric shapes (rectangles and squares) into volumetric shapes (slits) by means of straight cross sections and strategic joints at a point. The cleft contributes mainly to the meaning of the concepts of rhythm and organicity.
The Smiley Spiked flexible cuff bracelet is unisex piece of jewelry designed for everyday wear. Blending structure with fluidity, its design takes inspiration from spikes, ancestral elements of protection on sensitive life forms, while aligning with the natural contours of the human body. The articulated, U shaped spike formation adorns the back of the wrist, visible beneath a sleeve in a relaxed position; while the oval shaped, flexible tube back provides structure, ensures easy wear, and enhances comfort with a secure fit. The piece can be worn alone, stacked or paired with a watch.
