Plus Collaboratives disrupted the way colours and printing methods are presented by showcasing the metallic print effects in the form of 3D iridescent gem-like jewellery pieces.

These gem-like jewellery pieces look like rare insect species and are made almost entirely of paper printed with the new ink.

The studio then completely reimagined the colour swatch into a fictional story documenting the findings of these gem-like insects, letting them showcase the different print effects like never before. This was complemented with an exhibition for a more hands-on experience.

This project has been longlisted in the graphic design category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
