Project Details:

The School of Jewelry Arts stands as a pioneering educational institution dedicated to advancing the study and appreciation of jewelry arts for the public.

Renowned Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto designed a modern interpretation of traditional learning environments, featuring his distinctive serene and minimalist interiors. The architectural detailing spans over 7,000 square feet across two floors, offering a sophisticated atmosphere for academic pursuits.

South Star implemented a three-layered laminated printed glass to achieve a dynamic pattern effect. The laminated layer utilises SGP, while the star motif is rendered using a Dip-Tech Digital ceramic printer. Select glass partitions also incorporate curved glass elements. This innovative application of glass elevates both the aesthetic and functional qualities of the School of Jewelry Arts, demonstrating a commitment to integrating artistic craftsmanship with advanced technological solutions. The strategic combination of flat and curved glass components results in a cohesive design that underscores the institution’s dedication to creativity and excellence.
