3456∞Infinity- Selected of Red Dot Design Award 2015

3456∞Infinity Pendant collection design comprises of multi-shapes of triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon and a circle. One unique feature of the design series is reflected in the methodology of wearing the pendant. For each pendant, there are four different ways of wearing; gold face with chain across the vertex, or the base; silver face with chain across the vertex or the base.   Non-vertex shape like a circle still maintains four ways, via creation of narrow and wide surface for the chain to pass through. Such diversity in how to wear and the resultant variations in shapes and texture of the pendant can offer variety in the eyes of beholder. For example, it can even be used as a mode of communication, if one chooses to wear the necklace to show one’s special mood or feelings, or to assign a symbolic meaning by wearing in a certain way for anniversary or on a special occasion. A more intimate form of communication can happen if wearers are a couple or among best friends, it creates intimate exclusiveness or symbolizes unique friendship identity. The variation medley of versatile design in one jewelry type lends these necklaces organic, lively character. Instead of passively accepting a designer-set pre-customized design, such analogue-styled wearability allows the user to take over the ‘designer’ role in creating and changing the look of the day. The beauty of this jewelry feature is thus highlighted in the paradoxical co-existence of the creative diversity in simplicity, i.e. versatile metamorphic designs using the simplistic and basic shapes, giving timeless and modern look.
