KUBOLAB
“CODE&CRAFT” - ENCODED BODIES
2025
Background and Practice
Renata, based in São Paulo, Brazil, is a product designer and civil engineer with a specialized focus on sustainable 3D-printed jewelry under the name KuboLab. Pereira’s work blends advanced technology with environmental responsibility, producing accessories that rethink conventional jewelry while addressing ecological issues.
Development and Artistic Approach
Since 2019, Pereira has been developing her skills in 3D modeling and printing through independent study. She transforms digital designs into wearable sculptures, exploring the overlap between mathematical geometry and organic shapes. Influences for her work range from architectural elements and natural forms—such as sea urchins and vines—to everyday objects, all reinterpreted through technological innovation.
Materials and Sustainability
Pereira dedicates her practice to using biodegradable PLA made from renewable resources, reflecting her commitment to sustainable consumption and resource efficiency. Her collections feature rings with interchangeable parts, necklaces inspired by architecture, and sculptural brooches, illustrating how digital fabrication supports sustainable design without sacrificing creativity.
Design Philosophy
Combining the precision of engineering with artistic sensitivity to form, texture, and movement, Pereira creates pieces that are both personal adornments and conceptual statements. Her work demonstrates how technology and craftsmanship can thoughtfully intersect in contemporary craft practice.
“Code becomes craft when algorithms learn to breathe. Through 3D printing, I translate mathematical precision into organic poetry. Each layer a line of code made tangible.”
