The client came to Cristaux to create a deal toy celebrating their new investment and partnership. To pay tribute to their work on gene therapies, they envisioned a design incorporating DNA’s double helix. With this wish in mind, we had to figure out how to bring their vision to life.
To create something precise and strong, we decided to 3D-print the double helix structure. Next, we used a two-step personalization process to create a shimmering effect for this centerpiece. First, we coated the piece silver. Then, we spray-painted it blue to achieve the metallic look we imagined.
To feature the helix as the focal point of the design, we centered it on a black crystal base. We also used crystal panels to frame the helix feature and detail the client’s milestones.
