CSEM and ECAL create art using advanced technology

Students from the Lausanne University of Art and Design (ECAL) have teamed up with CSEM’s engineers to create an avant-garde iridescent jewelry collection. The designs include two different nanotechnologies developed at CSEM, which can be found in microchips or holographic anti-counterfeiting prevention tools. The jewelry pieces’ shimmering surfaces mimic natural optical effects, like on the wings of butterflies, beetle shells, or the inner shell of oysters.
