Silver Medusa Necklace
Product Description
The cascading ruffled form of this pendant is inspired by the frilly arms of a jellyfish, and features an intricate pattern of perforations inspired by lacy bryozoans. It hangs from an 18” sterling silver cable chain. Floraform is inspired by the biomechanics of growing leaves and blooming flowers. Each piece emerges from a computational simulation of differential growth, a surface that grows at different rates in different location. The flowering structures expand fastest along their edges, evolving from simple surfaces to flexuous forms that fill space with curves, folds, and ruffles.

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.
