MEDALLION MOTION


This project is a study of movement and gear systems. I was inspired to create this design while working in an oriental hand-made carpets shop. The medallion motif is often used in the finest persian carpet designs, such as Nain. The design houses a simplified planetary gear system that rotates when the outer floral shape is turned manually causing the medallion to come alive. Small wheel bearings allow for smooth movement and flow.
Working out the mechanics of the gear system needed for the concept.
CAD modeling and creation of a scaled down Medallion Motion Prototype.
