A limited collection of pendants designed for the MANUBA brand in cooperation with the Pomeranian Institute of Science and Technology in Gdynia. The collection was available for purchase during the Gdynia Design Days 2019 festival. The pendants were computer-modeled, 3D-printed, cast in silver and then hand-finished using various jewelry techniques.
