Porto Jóia challenged us to collaborate with a jeweler and create a display piece for showcasing jewels. We chose Ana Pina’s beautiful jewelry and designed a carousel inspired by her “Orbital” collection.
Since we wanted the carousel to spin, it was natural to use astronomy as the theme. The jewels were minimal, so we felt the carousel needed rich detail to keep the viewer’s attention. The center of the carousel became the Sun, while each small stand orbiting around it represented a planet from the solar system.
The base was inspired by an old astrolabe, and the top featured some of the major constellations of the night sky. In the final result, the jewels orbited the Sun as the carousel turned.
