À propos de Coral Boutons de manchette
Coral est une paire de boutons de manchette conçue pour maintenir ensemble les poignets d'une chemise. De nombreux boutons de manchette sont volumineux et lourds. Coral s'inscrit au contraire dans une tradition italienne de simplicité et de respect des formes organiques. La forme ouverte et ajourée confère une apparence de légèreté, tandis que la texture brute intérieure apporte du contraste. Chaque bouton de manchette est réalisé à la main en argent sterling par fonte à la cire perdue. Chaque pièce est polie puis plaquée de platine ou d'or rose afin de préserver son éclat. La tige plate, en forme d'aileron, empêche toute rotation et rend les boutons de manchette faciles à mettre et à retirer.

- Propriétés Uniques
- These cufflinks are designed in the best tradition of Italian love for simplicity and respect for organic shapes. They are featuring a unique see-through look, which creates lightness, while the rough inner texture creates added contrast.
Each cufflink is hand made from Sterling Silver. To keep its shine, they are individually polished and either Platinum or Rose Gold plated. The flat, fin-like stem prevents them from rotating while making it easy to put on and take off. - Dimensions & Emballage
- Sterling Silver with Rhodium plating and Rose Gold plating, ∅20 x 22mm

- Technologie de Production
- The cufflinks are made by lost wax casting, which is commonplace in jewelry making. All files were created in Creo 4.0 and rendered in Keyshot to get an accurate representation of the final design before production. A Makerbot 3D-printer was also used, to get preliminary parts made in PLA. These were used to fine-tune the look and size.
- Défi de Conception
- There was not much of a research challenge for this project since cufflinks have been around for a very long time. Also in terms of manufacturing and materials, the choice to use Sterling Silver and Lost Casting were straight forward. A high-quality material was necessary, and therefore, only silver or gold would have been appropriate. Using pure gold would set a too high selling price. Therefore the choice to use Sterling Silver and gold plate them.
- Recherche
- During the initial phase of the design, several directions were taken, including designs featuring enamel. The enamel was placed in the inner part of the cufflinks, creating contrast and making the design feel alive. The idea came from the underside of a starfish, which reveals an inner color, different from the outer skin. It makes it more vulnerable and fragile, enhancing its lightness even more. Unfortunately, it was not possible from a technical point of view, since reaching the inner surface was very difficult and time-consuming.
- Inspiration
- Cufflinks in itself are meant to hold the cuffs of a shirt together. The tighter, the better. They can be bulky and overloaded, usually made of expensive materials to show the status of its wearer. The inspiration was to create something opposite to that. Something that still made of a single, pure material and which replicated lightness. Something that even when holding the cuffs, would so not by weight, but by its structural integrity.
- Durée du Projet
- The project started in September 2018 and the first production of three SKU's (Rose Gold, Silver, Gun Metal) arrived in Hong Kong around March 2019.
- Flux Opérationnel
- There are several types of cufflinks - Whale Back, Bullet Back, Chain Link, Ball Return, ... The Coral Cufflinks come as Fixed Backing design, which usually is a little harder to put on. Due to the slim design and functional shape; however, this is not the case. These cufflinks slide easily into the cuffs cuts, keeping them tightly together.
