Emar Batalha- 10 Years Of Design Catalog With Wood Box

Emar Batalha- 10 years of design Catalog with wood box is a meticulously crafted commemorative publication and display ensemble that celebrates a decade of jewelry design excellence, embodying both artistic vision and functional sophistication. This innovative design project, which earned the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in the Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category, represents a harmonious fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design sensibilities. The piece consists of a handcrafted Imbuia wood case measuring 35.5 x 24.0 x 5.0 centimeters, featuring a relief-applied logo and laser-cut details, housing two distinct components: a collection of ten jewelry sketches and a sixty-eight-page catalog chronicling a decade of design evolution. The publication distinguishes itself through its unconventional approach to jewelry documentation, departing from traditional white backgrounds in favor of vibrant, tropicalia-inspired color schemes throughout its pages. The catalog employs sophisticated production techniques including special paper treatments, hot-stamping prints, and dry cut and crease details, while the cover features a sensorial design enhanced by a golden metal logo mounted on satin lace. This archival-quality creation was conceived not merely as a contemporary document but as a lasting testament to early 21st-century jewelry design, with materials and construction methods chosen specifically for their ability to maintain integrity over decades. The design successfully overcame significant production challenges, particularly in achieving consistent precision in the handcrafted wooden boxes while maintaining high-quality finishes using sustainable, reforested wood sources.
