Netherlands-based industrial designer Michiel Cornelissen has created a new type of accessory to complements and create music percussion beats.
The ‘KXX Sound Rings’ that Cornelissen has created are 3D printed, with little beads inside the wearable rattle-shaped rings. 3D printing allows the rings to be manufactured in different colors and sizes, each with the beads enclosed.
His inspiration for the KXX, or caxixi (pronounced kah-shi-shi in Brazilian Portuguese) is taken from the Afro-Brazilian caxixi shaken percussion instrument. The caxixi instrument is typically made from dried gourd, with seeds or other small objects inside.
