Unleashing Creativity with The Power of Pastry: An Interactive Jewellery Kit

Experience the Joy of Crafting with Fenghua Ye's Innovative Paper Jewellery Kits

Fenghua Ye's design is a testament to the power of simplicity and creativity. The Power of Pastry is a collection of interactive paper jewellery kits that invite audiences to participate in the jewellery making process. This unique approach was inspired by the process and structure of different pastries. The designer was encouraged by the interactive nature of homemade pastry making, which is a home activity that increases mutual happiness. The kits are designed to be assembled without the need for glue, reflecting the process of making pastries from a flat piece of dough.

The Power of Pastry stands out for its unique properties. The jewellery pieces have been simplified so that they can be folded directly from a prepared paper piece. The colour of the jewellery is left blank, providing a canvas for audiences to design their styles. The kits range from simple paper rings to complex paper brooches, offering different levels of challenge and engagement for the audience. This silent but amazing communication between the designer and the audience is a testament to Fenghua Ye's belief that jewellery should not be limited by precious materials.

The Power of Pastry was realized using laser cut and engraving technology. The designer provided detailed specifications for the scale of the paper bracelets, rings, and brooches. The design is tagged as interactive, contemporary, and sustainable, reflecting its unique features and the designer's commitment to sustainable design practices.

The project started in September 2020 and finished in May 2021 in Edinburgh. Since then, it has been exhibited and recognized in various prestigious events and competitions, including the New Designer Online Show in the UK, the Competition of Bright Young Gems in London, the Gwangju Design Biennale International Invitational Poster Exhibition in South Korea, and the Global Design Graduate Show 2021 Collaborate with Gucci. In October 2021, it was selected for the Online Exhibition 'So Fresh + So Clean' in America.
