morphologica


wow wow wow! how can you not love these?! they look so fun and unique! they FEEL intelligent, to me at least! i think because the concept of these designs are from neuroscience!

"For nerds at heart

A truly unique piece

Laser-cut from black acrylic, crafted into a beautiful necklace with a silver chain.


Approximate pendant length is 2.6 inches (6.7cm). Chain length is 18 inches (other lengths available on request). Created using high quality silver-plated components.

About the design and production process:

Each piece starts its life as a sketch on paper, then is modelled digitally and cut by laser beam, before finally being assembled into a truly unique piece.

During my research, I have discovered that science can be surprisingly beautiful- single cells viewed under a microscope, intricate networks of cells important for learning and memory, and even the curving structure of the brain itself.
I have tried to capture some of this beauty in the Morphologica pieces, focusing on the shape or morphology of a variety of subjects studied in neuroscience." ~morphologica
