We carry fragments of our lives in our pockets keys to where we sleep, tools for where we go. I wanted to elevate this daily clutter into a singular, tactile tether. Loopra is designed not just to hold, but to ground; a quiet unification of utility and form that feels significant in the hand

About This Project
The psychology of attachment is rarely given a physical form, yet we constantly bind ourselves to places through small metal
tokens. This project questions why such essential connectors remain purely utilitarian. It proposes that the objects we touch
every day deserve a deeper tactile consideration.
Complex mechanisms were rejected here in favor of a continuous silhouette. The resulting shape blurs the boundary between a tool
and a sculpture by stripping away excess to reveal the simple authority of the loop.
Carrying keys is inherently a ritual of departure and return. Loopra reframes this transition. It turns a passive accessory
into a deliberate intersection of the necessary and the beautiful while finding a sense of permanence in the fleeting moments
of the day.
The void at the center is as significant as the material itself. It represents a space of potential where the heavy and the
essential are gathered together. Holding it offers a tactile reminder of what we choose to carry forward and what we leave
behind, creating a small but grounding center of gravity in the motion of everyday life.
