Designer Naomi Kizhner created an unique jewelry collection that works with the human body. These futuristic pieces harness the body's natural movements and kinetic energy as electricity to propel various mechanisms inside the wearable pieces.
While most people enjoy jewelry for its aesthetic appeal, Kizhner takes a rather different approach by infusing the jewelry with the ability to harness energy. The collection, titled 'Energy Addicts,' is Kizhner's graduating project. The line includes a wearable nose ring that hooks onto an individual's nose between the eyes. The piece, called Blinker, comes onto the individual's eyelids and hardnesses the blinking movement. Other piece called the Blood Bridge can be inserted into the arm or back and uses the blood stream to propel a spinning wheel charm inside a glass tube.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Energy-harnessing Wearables
- Opportunity for wearable technology that uses the body's movements and kinetic energy as a renewable energy source.
- Bio-powered Jewelry
- Disruptive innovation opportunity for the jewelry industry to create sustainable accessories that transform biological processes into energy.
- Kinetic-powered Mechanisms
- Opportunity for developing kinetic-powered mechanisms in different products, using users' movements as renewable energy source.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion
- Fashion industry has a great opportunity to produce innovative and sustainable clothing and accessories that use renewable energy sources.
- Smart Jewelry
- Smart jewelry industry can be disrupted by transforming usual bracelets, earrings, and necklaces into intelligent wearables that can generate electricity from people's movements.
- Health-tech
- The health-tech industry can utilize kinetic-powered mechanisms for wearables, like Pulse or Blood Bridge, that can monitor vital signs and generate data for medical purposes.
