Restoring the Ancient to its Glory

An old embroidered tablecloth found in a grandmother's closet. On the other side, a triangle abstracted from Eastern tradition. Together they created a connection between a garment and a jewellery — a body ornament.

A triangular modular system - laser-cut brass connected by living hinges - was developed to sit over Rochelle lace, testing how metal and textile can share load, movement and contact with skin. The 3D-printed module explores the translation of delicate crochet lace into a precise, repeatable structural element.
