3D Printed Cosmogony Concept Collection

With the 2020 Cosmogony Concept collection, Lada Legina is exploring new design ideas, fusing traditional handwork with contemporary innovative techniques. Behind the glamorous, attention-demanding accessories and dramatic glitter, lies deeper ideas about the evolution of jewelry design, fashion, aesthetics, and the evolution of our spiritual lives. 

By playing with mixing artisanal handwork with modern technology-driven design techniques, the collection brings interesting new textures to layer with your favorite outfits. 

Modern technology is incorporated to let the intricate details of fine handcrafting stand out against the contrast of state-of-the-art 3D printing. Computer-generated designs are not replacing the traditional craft, but putting into a modern context, where it gains a new significance. 

The confidence with which she wore her jewelry gave her an instantly magnetic aura. It was difficult to tell whether her forceful energy came exclusively from within, or her look enforced the inner strength she projected. 

Her accessories featured familiar feeling details, but the shapes were uniquely their own, and immediately made her stand out in the room. Her outfit was simple, she needed nothing but a smile, a few select accessories, and a fearless look in her eyes, to command the attention of everyone around her.

About the collection

The Cosmogony Concept collection features exclusive accessories crafted in limited numbers from carefully curated materials handset on unique 3D printed bases. The bold and unapologetic collection is unmistakably modern, but the handcrafted details keep the aesthetic refined and sophisticated. 

With inspiration spanning from the colors of nature over the patterns and embroidery of traditional Ukrainian costumes to spiritual readings, the multilayered collection offers more than first catches the eye. The depth, literal and figuratively, of the design keeps offering new details, and the more you look at the complex 3-dimensional textures, the more depth and layers of detail reveals themselves.

I believe in preserving the heritage of handcrafting traditions by bringing them into the present. Fusing centuries-old design principles with modern cutting-edge technology to create something genuinely new, but at the same time retain the authenticity of something that is handmade. It is possible to craft modern jewelry that exudes the heart and soul that the artisan put into crafting it, without it having to feel dusty and old. And that is what I am trying to achieve with this collection. — Lada Legina, designer
