Alexander Lervik enters the jewelry industry.

What have you created? —It started with an idea to collaborate with different brands and we contacted Astrid Olsson and Lee Cotter, who are designers at V Ave Shoe Repair. We wanted to see if they were interested in using light, which is my big passion, and 3D printing. They were! Together we built up the material in the computer and printed it in a plastic material that we then worked further with. Some are in gold and silver, others have light in them. What is the size of what you have made?

—It is a larger model for bracelets, roughly 15 centimeters long and ten centimeters wide. Then we have adorned the shoulder section of an outfit. Is it the first time you have worked with jewelry?

—Yes, the collection will be sold going forward, but only certain pieces. Hans Kronbrink
