The Gearclips were selected to be part of the Vogue Italia Notebook series photo shoot.

Project

Carbon fiber printed clips designed using Onyx, a micro carbon fiber filled nylon filament. A deep dive into both material and form, exploring accessible technology for producing aluminum strength parts through additive manufacturing, questioning what 'premium' means when production tools become democratized.

Vision

Explore how emerging fabrication methods can produce genuinely functional hardware, not prototypes. Gearclip investigates the boundary between craft object and engineered component, small, precise, and built to perform under real mechanical stress.
