The project
IFABPROJECT brings together work developed with master's students at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia through courses in digital fabrication, CNC and hybrid technologies taught by Archicercle. The collaboration put these subjects into practice through costume jewellery and its cases, combining different fabrication and joining operations.
Archicercle's contribution covered teaching and developing the projects alongside the students. The work connected two scales within the same set: the small jewellery elements and the components of their packaging.
We used our milling machine to make the case components. Their hexagonal geometry contrasts with the circular recesses inside and the round jewellery shapes. The light wood appearance of the packaging sits alongside the blue and white tones of the pieces.
The jewellery elements were laser-cut. We then recessed the surfaces of the acrylic pieces before joining them to birch wood bases. This sequence combines work on the acrylic pieces with their subsequent attachment to a second material.
The result connects object and case within a university learning experience. Making the packaging and jewellery brought milling, laser cutting, recessing and assembly together in a single project.
The hexagonal outline of the case frames a circular recess for the jewellery.
