We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: The main principle is interactivity, the idea was to create the mechanic transformable pieces one could interact with. The shapes of these pendants can be easy changed by moving their parts, thus a little bit new design can be achieved each time. Transforma collection designs are based on the pendant lights by well-known designers.
: My challenge was not only esthetical but also technological - creation of the relevant shape and mechanism in a small piece with an adequate weight.
: I would like to make them more accessible for users in terms of price so I'm planning to work on the technology process optimization.
: It took me around 2 and a half months to create it: from research to production.
: I am constantly inspired by the simple forms and clear lines of the contemporary architectural and interior design objects. Namely the pendant lights often resemble jewelry artwork and that observation encouraged me to create a similar small object and try to place it in a totally different environment - a human body.
: I'm planning to produce it myself with the help of a professional jeweler.

: Lara Bohinc, Louis Weisdorf.
: I would say it is an intelligent, curious woman, aged 30 who wants to stand out and express her complicated personality by wearing something interesting and noticeable but still simple and clean.
: First of all, there're not so many interactive objects in jewelry design. And also I would say this design combines simplicity in shape and complexity in technology.
: The name speaks for itself, it means something tat can be transformed.
: These tools are research, drawing tools, 3D-modelling.
: This design is unique in terms technology, each piece contains a special mechanism that makes it transformable.
: Yes, in order to implement this project I worked with a professional jeweler.
: Technology plays an extremely important role here as without special mechanisms the idea wouldn't be achieved.
: I researched the lights created by different well-known designers, similar in shape and sometimes transformable.
: The main challenge was to create a mechanism in a small piece with the adequate weight and dimensions.
: Our curator and designer, Igor Komov, in British Higher School of Art and Design inspired us to participate.
: I improved my engineering skills meaning the calculation of the dimensions in small pieces and working on the mechanisms in cooperation with a professional jeweler and that also improved my ability to cooperate and bargain and control the production process.
