This piece is a leather bracelet created using laser-cutting techniques, combining network-like structural patterns with metal hardware elements to form a contemporary accessory. The design is grounded in a dark color palette, primarily black, grey, and deep red, highlighting contrasts in material and subtle surface details. Intricate linear cut-outs construct a fiber-like interwoven structure, transforming the flat leather into a layered and semitransparent surface with visual rhythm. Circular perforations are integrated into the pattern, enhancing both breathability and comfort while also serving as visual points that stabilize the overall composition. The natural texture and slight irregularities of the leather are intentionally preserved, emphasizing the material's authenticity. These are contrasted with metal fasteners and hardware components, creating a balance between softness and rigidity. The piece is designed to function as both an expressive accessory and a wearable object. It reflects a focus on structure, material, and detail, while maintaining clarity in form and usability. Through the combination of craftsmanship and material exploration, the work presents a distinct and contemporary design language.
