Livia Zaharia
Designer biography:
Zaharia Livia is a Romanian architect who started developing her interest in jewellery making through digital means around 2018. She wanted to explore the possibilities offered by 3d modelling and how digital creations can come to life. It began with both larger objects like a pavilion and smaller ones like engagement rings for friends going simultaneously. Since then, she has opened up to the public on social media and the Internet. Nowadays, her pieces can be considered unique in each case, featuring shape or setting challenges, movement, or interchangeability. It can be called integrating nature via her imagination.
Collection concept: It's just a cell life - Biology collection
It all started with a cell. It grew, divided and specialized. As such this collection recalls that. Different forms record different stages or parts of the cell. The collection has a start point, the Nucleus and an end point - Embryo. Particular in this case is the fact that not only 3d printed techniques are used, but also natural materials are integrated via more traditional methods. There are walnut husks combined with metal but also natural amber trapped in digitally designed settings. Also nano particles which are actually a new medical technology, are made of silver, with or without Inclusions. Each piece has a story and you are invited to find it out.
