This is a necklace. It was designed by James Wines and Alison Sky. It is dated 1985 and we acquired it in 2016. Its medium is clear plastic tube filled with colorcore formica fragments. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
This necklace was not made by a master jeweler, but by architect-designers who created this colorful piece from recycled and leftover plastic tubing and ColorCore Formica.
