Buckle

The concept of the semester assignments is based on transformation of the ancient Chinese game Tangram and its shape variations. The broadly conceived theme combines several projects into a final output of a comprehensive concept of mutually communicating fashion accessories. Based on the game with the given geometric shapes of Tangram, the task was to create monogram using a limited number of pieces. By developing variants, a tangram alphabet was created. The buckle and small accompanying design (earrings, cufflinks, brooch...) are directly related to the compositional solution of the initials of the monogram itself, while emphasis was placed on function, fastening mechanism and harmonization of the whole, which is accentuated by graphic design of a fabric print (wallpaper).
