'Nervous System' is a line of 3D-printed accessories that can be customized with the aid of an accompanying app. The jewelry is created by turning any 3D shape into a structure that can be manipulated into a more organic and interesting structure. With Kinematics, it's possible to make your own designs that feature anywhere from tens to thousands of unique elements.

Although each small component that makes up the structure of the jewelry is solid, the connectors give the accessories the ability to flex and move about freely. The technology used to create Nervous System pieces is the culmination of art, science, technology and nature, making each piece way more complex than a design that you'd assemble by hand.
