Pae Muang Pee Phenomenon: Kinetic Jewelry Inspired by Phae Mueang Phi Forest Park

Introduction

Phae Mueang Phi Forest Park, located in Nam Cham District, Phrae Province, Thailand, spans an area of approximately 267,200 square meters. The park gets its name from the eroded soil and sandstone terrain, resulting in unique rock formations. Legend has it that the park was once a secret town, a mystical forest where those who ventured in would never find their way out. This captivating folklore served as the inspiration for the Pae Muang Pee Phenomenon collection, which aims to capture the essence of the ghost town and offer wearers a sense of protection from evil.

The Pae Muang Pee Phenomenon collection stands out with its innovative use of gravity and kinetic methods. The jewelry features a glass-ceramic ball that can be moved and adjusted, allowing for multiple shapes and formations. This unconventional approach challenges traditional perceptions of jewelry design and creates a truly unique and captivating experience for the wearer.

What sets this collection apart is the use of recycled waste gemstones to create the imitation jewelry glass-ceramic materials. Through the sintering glass ceramics technique, metal powder is used as a coloring agent, resulting in enhanced optical properties. The glass/metal powder interactions create color agent crystals, giving the jewelry a beautiful metallic shine. This approach not only adds novelty to the design but also promotes sustainability in the jewelry-making industry.

The realization of the Pae Muang Pee Phenomenon collection involves a combination of cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship. The designers utilize 3D printing to create highly accurate prototypes, allowing for intricate and precise parts. The jewelry's mechanical joints are developed using innovative techniques that eliminate the need for welding, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. The use of nitrogen plasma further enhances the jewelry's surface hardness, anti-tarnish, and corrosion resistance, ensuring its longevity and durability.

With dimensions of 20mm in width, 20mm in depth, and 105mm in height, the Pae Muang Pee Phenomenon jewelry is lightweight, weighing only 7 grams. Crafted from silver and glass ceramic, each piece exudes elegance and sophistication.

The Pae Muang Pee Phenomenon collection offers wearers a unique interactive experience. The pendant can be transformed into various shapes by simply pushing and pulling, allowing for customization to suit different occasions. Additionally, the pendant can also be displayed as a mini sculpture, adding a touch of artistry to any space.

Created between April 2020 and April 2021 in Bangkok, Thailand, the Pae Muang Pee Phenomenon collection has garnered recognition and acclaim. It was exhibited throughout Bangkok in 2021, captivating audiences with its innovative design and captivating story.

By combining the allure of kinetic movement with the rich folklore of Phae Mueang Phi Forest Park, Duangkhae Bootkul and Pasu Roungpanyaroj have created a truly remarkable collection of jewelry. The Pae Muang Pee Phenomenon collection not only showcases their technical expertise but also highlights the importance of sustainability and storytelling in contemporary design.
