The BowTie: A 3D Printed Fashion Accessory

Revolutionizing the Way Men Wear Bow Ties

The BowTie was born out of a desire to create something for men that is both fashionable and functional. Unlike traditional bow ties that require intricate tying, The BowTie features a slot designed to fit most standard shirt buttons. To put it on, simply slide and slot it onto the button of any collared dress shirt. It's that easy! No more struggling with complicated knots or readjusting throughout the day.

What sets The BowTie apart is its minimalistic design and checkered mesh structure. Made using 3D laser sintering techniques in nylon plastic material, this bow tie showcases a three-dimensional volume that is accentuated by the hollowed mesh pattern. The result is an optical illusion that adds depth and visual interest to any outfit.

With dimensions of 10 x 4.7 x 1.5 cm, The BowTie is compact and lightweight, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods. Whether you're attending a formal event or looking to add a touch of style to your everyday attire, this 3D printed accessory is versatile and suitable for various fashion styles and occasions.

Since its launch in June 2013 in Fukuoka, Japan, The BowTie has garnered attention and recognition. In 2015, it was awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the 3D Printed Forms and Products category. This accolade is a testament to the design's outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill.

The BowTie, created by Monocircus, is not just a fashion accessory; it's a symbol of the intersection between art, design, and technology. Embracing the possibilities of 3D printing, this bow tie redefines the way men wear this classic accessory, offering a hassle-free and stylish alternative.
