Our story

The history of the Sunrose started recently, more precise on 28 July 2018 in Barzano, Italy.

“..... The predecessor of the Sunrose was a gift I designed for a wedding in Italy of a Dutch-Italian couple, both very important people to me. The basic idea was to design an object to capture the precious moment of that wedding. At a specific date, time, and location. For some reason I thought about the relation between time and the rotation of the earth on its axes around the sun. And if you start thinking about the sun in Italy in July, you think about shade immediately. I have a background in both physics and design, two worlds that meet in this object.
The Sunrose for this wedding contained personal words, an image of a bunch of grapes, an icon of Italy, and an image of a tulip, as an icon of Netherlands.
A Dutch design, but it would not properly work without the Italians “Perché gli italiani hanno inventato il sole”. Because the Italians invented the sun.
When I started designing the wedding gift, it was not my intention to make it into a product as it is now. But when I saw the impact it made on the couple, and the guests too by the way, I wanted to give others the opportunity to be able to do the same. To design their own personalised gift. A physical reminder of a special moment."
       
Bram van den Haspel, designer

We started to redesign the idea and develop the software for modelling and calculations. Now, we are proud to be able to produce a high quality Sunrose.
It is cast in precious metal, but that is only the exterior. What is inside is what counts: you can fill the Sunrose with your own precious words, ideas or memories. We hope the Sunrose will witness many memorable moments.

Materials

A Sunrose is available in full bronze, silver or 14K gold.


Bronze
Bronze is a copper-tin alloy with a deep red color. It exhibits a subtle marbling effect and the silvery highlights give each piece their own unique character adding a vintage look. Bronze is safe to wear unless you have a nickel allergy. Like all bronze, it will tarnish over time and may need to be polished or cleaned.

Silver
Sterling silver (92.5% silver) is a high quality silver alloy commonly used in jewellery. It is skin safe. The outer shell of the Sunrose is polished. Silver will tarnish over time but can be polished so it will look like new again

Gold
Gold (14K) is our premium metal, perfect for everyday wear and timeless pieces. The outer shell of the Sunrose is polished.

FAQ


Projection
• Can I project the image with a lamp?

No, this is normally not possible. The projection will be not sharp, because the rays of the sun are practically parallel. With strong focussed lamp at two meters distance, you could give it a try.

• Do I always need to wait for the Sunrose-moment to see the projection?

For the best result, yes. But if you cannot wait, it is possible to take the Sunrose into the sun and try to find the correct angle.

• Where can I find the north arrow on the Sunrose?

It is inside a circle on the shell of the Sunrose.

• How can I find north?

You can use a compass, a compass-app, or even just a smartphone. If you have a map you can also turn the map's position: turn the map until a road on the map is parallel to the road in real life. Be sure to have it in the right direction. Then the north of the map points north.


Design and edit projected image
• Why can’t I select every hour as projection moment?

When the sun is not high enough, for example near sunrise or sunset, the projection will be very stretched and unsharp. When the sun is too high, the projection will be beneath the Sunrose and therefore not visible.

• Why can’t I insert lower case characters or punctuation in the editor?

The characters and icons play a key role in the construction of the Sunrose. It has to be strong enough. Lower case letters and punctuation cannot carry that strength.

• Why does the editor insert lines in some empty spaces in my design?

This is to make the Sunrose strong enough. If you add more character and icons in the empty spaces, these additional lines will disappear.

• Can I create my own icons to use in a projection?

This is not possible, yet. But please let us know what you would prefer, as this helps us with developing next steps.

• Can you help me with the design of a projection?

Yes, of course. Send us your rough idea and text by email, then we will create an example for you.

The Sunroses are 3D printed in a kind of wax. Then a plaster mould is made around it and the wax is melted out. Then the liquid metal is poured into the plaster.

Intructions

Capitals and numbers. You can insert capitals or numbers by pressing the keys on the keyboard. Lower cast and other symbols on the keyboard cannot be used. This is because the characters play a key role in the construction of the shell of the sunrose.
Small images and icons. Below the circle you will find small icons. By clicking, you add the icon to the text at the cusor position.
Toggle between 'Edit mode' and 'Check mode'. The software will check your design when you press the 'check' button. If you want to change the design, press the 'edit' button.
Removing characters and icons. Use the backspace key on your keyboard.
Moving the cursor position. You can click on a line to make it active. By clicking before or behind a character on this line, you can change the cursor position. You can also use the arrow-keys on your keyboard to move the cursor.
Empty spaces on a line. If there are too many open spaces on a line, the sunrose will be not strong enough. The software will add construction lines to these empty spaces. You see the result after pressing the 'check' button. When you press the 'edit' button and fill the space with more characters or icons, the construction lines will disappear.
Advanced editing (diameter 40 and 60 mm). By toggling this button, you will see some more editing options. You can remove a line and it is possible to make the line height flexible within certain limits. When you toggle the button again, the line-height will be equal again, and the software will delete characters that do not fit.
