While experimenting for our Tension series, we came across what we consider the very basic shape of tension: a flowing line pushing through a flexible material.
|
We decided to celebrate our discovery and design two different brooches around it: a deluxe porcelain and a biodegradable / renewable version.

The Tension Pin is a renewable brooch that showcases the basic shape of tension. The brooch is made of several layers natural latex stretched around a 3d-printed base of wood/PLA. Latex is a natural product and will deteriorate over time. The pin is designed in a way that makes it possible to easily renew the latex top layers: pop out the inner brooch by pushing through the hole in the back and stretch a new latex layer around the curved line. The two kinds of latex we use are easily obtainable, which makes it possible to not only change the layers when they break, but to have fun with it, and change the color or finish of your brooch whenever it suits you. The color is determined by a balloon and the top layer (which creates the powdery appearance) is the fingertip of a latex glove. |
