The project reinterprets a traditional children’s garlic amulet into contemporary aromatic jewelry. The concept centers on using porous, unglazed ceramics, which absorb essential oils and function as a natural diffuser. All pieces are designed to be worn near the face so the fragrance is constantly perceptible. This combines nostalgia for childhood memories with functional sensory design.
Starting concept sketch.
An abstract organic form. This is the starting point for the entire series. Because of its smooth curves and lack of rigid geometry, the model appears differently with every turn, yet maintains a single, recognizable silhouette.
Porous ceramic.
The choice of material is dictated by its ability to absorb and retain scents. The unglazed clay base allows the decoration to «breathe, ” transforming it into a functional aroma diffuser. Because of this, the ceramic acts as a natural diffuser: it absorbs essential oils and gradually releases the fragrance.
