Cluster Pendant
Product Description
The Cluster Pendant is part of the Xylem line, a collection grown using Nervous System's complex computer simulation of leaf venation. In some of the pieces in this collection, symmetrical patterns are formed from only a few veins. In others, tiny tertiary veins interconnect with thick primary and secondary veins. In plants, these complex vein networks form redundant systems for transporting water, sugars and nutrients. The result is a necklace with a pendant that that is both intricate and technological and naturally inspired.

About the Designer
Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg founded Nervous System in 2007. Jessica currently acts as Creative Director and Jesse as Chief Science Officer. Jessica graduated from MIT in 2005 and holds degrees in architecture and biology. Afterwards, she studied architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Jesse also attended MIT, majoring in mathematics. Nervous System's designs have been featured in a wide range of publications, including WIRED, Metropolis, and Forbes. Jesse and Jessica have given talks on their generative design process in many forums, including MIT, Carnegie Mellon, SIGGRAPH, and the Eyeo Festival. Nervous System lamps are currently on display as part of the “Out of Hand” exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design.
To grow their digital designs, Nervous System writes generative programs. Unlike conventional design methods, this technique doesn't result in one finite form. Rather, the designers develop computational systems that can generate infinite distinct, yet related, forms. These systems are interactive, responding both to changes in specific variables and to physical inputs. There is no definitive final product; rather, the potential for infinite designs means each piece can be unique.
