Description

Innovative interpretation of the natural world

Sheinfeld Rodriguez is a contemporary design studio whose work combines the precision of leading-edge technology with nature’s organic expressions. Drawing inspiration from nature’s evolutionary system of design, we create intricate, wearable objects based on patterns and strategies inherently found in the natural world. Our work extends from our architecture and design background, and merges our contemporary design sensibilities with the latest in 3D-printing technology and materials. We generate our unusual designs using a process that incorporates computer simulation, digital fabrication, and traditional hand-tooled methods.

The creative potential of contradiction

The work of Sheinfeld Rodriguez explores juxtapositional subjects and the coherence of oppositional attributes. This theme is an interwoven constant throughout our work and our life. Being geographically isolated, yet simultaneously, virtually connected, plays an important role in the creative dynamics of the studio. Living in one of the most remote areas of the world, the Hawaiian Islands, has given rise to inventive interpretation that is in perpetual flux.

Modern jewelry from generative design

Our current work examines innovative approach to contemporary jewelry design. Our work is grounded in the investigation of elemental forms and the corresponding processes that construct the natural environments that surround us. Our process focuses on generative design methods, using both digital and analog tools to create distinct, wearable art pieces. We are continually exploring complex and unconventional geometries, from geological formations to fluid dynamics. The consideration and translation of natural occurrences is a key component of our design process.

Interconnections, commendations, and presentations

Sheinfeld Rodriguez collaborates with artists and designers around the globe, and has had the opportunity to co-create with originators in U.S., Europe, Middle East, Asia, and South America. The work of Sheinfeld Rodriguez has been granted the Silver A’ Design Award by the grand jury panel of the A’ Design Award & Competition of the International Design Academy, and has been exhibited in diverse locations including Volume Gallery of Art, Berlin, Germany, Hilo Museum of Contemporary Art, Hilo, Hawaii & Pratt institute, New York, New York.
