Adobe Substance 3D
In this collaboration with Adobe, I focused on bringing emotion into the design, starting from the idea that every feeling can be expressed through texture. I explored how Adobe Substance 3D connects users to materials, and translated that experience into a subtle, wearable device.

The Obsidian Watch is less a product design project and more an emotional visual experiment. Through this study, I aimed to highlight the use of Adobe Substance 3D in industrial design, showing the importance of textures in the design process.
CGI was the ideal way to materialize the intimate emotions inspired by the rawness of nature. The irregularities of geological formations informed the design of the leather band. Similarly, the fabric loop band was inspired by the lightness and softness evoked by snowy environments.
