The Department of Architecture and Industrial Design of the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” through the research of the group “Gems and Jewels: History and Design” since 2010 has been developing research and projects on the theme of jewelry of international and national importance. The proposed theme “African Joy: Precious Artifacts Between Tradition and Innovation, as a Model of Ecodesign,” responding to the sustainable development objectives of the United Nations Agenda 2030 (SDGs 11, 12, 15, 17), presents collections of jewelry made with sustainable materials typical of some African nations (Kenya, South Africa, Togo, Cape Town, Nairobi, Congo, Madagascar, Sierra Leone, Namibia, Morocco) and experimental materials such as geopolymers, starting from the study of the productions of young African designers (Theresia Kyalo, Ami Doshi Shah, Katherine Mary Pichulik, Akébéhi Kpolo) and from the Adinkra culture. Through an interdisciplinary network methodology, between local cultures, designers, artisan jewelers, small companies, and research centers, the project developed in the paper proposes a sustainable model between artisanal and industrial production.

摘要

The Department of Architecture and Industrial Design of the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” through the research of the group “Gems and Jewels: History and Design” since 2010 has been developing research and projects on the theme of jewelry of international and national importance. The proposed theme “African Joy: Precious Artifacts Between Tradition and Innovation, as a Model of Ecodesign,” responding to the sustainable development objectives of the United Nations Agenda 2030 (SDGs 11, 12, 15, 17), presents collections of jewelry made with sustainable materials typical of some African nations (Kenya, South Africa, Togo, Cape Town, Nairobi, Congo, Madagascar, Sierra Leone, Namibia, Morocco) and experimental materials such as geopolymers, starting from the study of the productions of young African designers (Theresia Kyalo, Ami Doshi Shah, Katherine Mary Pichulik, Akébéhi Kpolo) and from the Adinkra culture. Through an interdisciplinary network methodology, between local cultures, designers, artisan jewelers, small companies, and research centers, the project developed in the paper proposes a sustainable model between artisanal and industrial production.
