Strength - Softness
A digraph is an ultra-personalized decorative optical illusion that combines two words, such as two first names, in an original and surprising way. Place yourself in front of the digraph. Move a little to the left and the digraph will take the form of the first name; move a little to the right and it will take the form of the middle name!
Any pair of first names works!
And yes, even with different numbers of letters! In this case, we use two (or more) letters from the longest first name to make one letter from the shortest first name. (see attached images)
Beyond the "single to double", we recommend the crystalline digraph which gives very balanced results even for very unbalanced first names!
The first thing we do when you send us an order is a 3D model of the entire digraph, to ensure the optical illusion is perfect. This model is unique for each combination of first names. It is then prepared so that the different elements can be 3D printed. Our pieces are made of PLA, which is a bio-sourced plastic made from corn starch. The letters are then assembled on a wooden base. Two options are available: the lightest wood, French ash, is worked by a cabinetmaker and has a very beautiful level of finish. The padouk base is worked in our workshop and offers red tones that brighten up the decoration. A photo pick (metal rod with a spiral at the end to hold a photo) can be added upon request.
Strength and Gentleness: a decorative work symbolizing balance
“Gentleness is enhanced by strength, so that elegance results.” - Anonymous.
The digraph Force - Douceur is a symbolic decorative optical illusion.
These words can describe traits we recognize in someone we admire, or qualities we appreciate in ourselves. Or even the combination of two people, each possessing one of these qualities!
If you stand one meter away from the digraph, you can look from the left to see the word STRENGTH and from the right to see the word SWEETNESS appear. You can also place the digraph in front of a mirror where you will see both words at the same time.
The letters of this digraph are made from a bio-based material called PLA, derived from corn starch. Each letter is hand-assembled onto a base of French ash wood with beveled edges. You will also find a photo pick, allowing you to illustrate these two words with a photo of your choice.
All manufacturing and assembly of all parts are carried out in our workshop in La Roche-Sur-Yon, Vendée.
This digraph makes a perfect gift for special occasions such as Mother's Day, Grandparents' Day, and even Christmas. The optical illusion is sure to impress those who receive it.
In relationships, "strength and gentleness" can be seen as an ideal balance between firmness of conviction and emotions, while being empathetic and sensitive to the needs of others.
This digraph is perfect as a gift or a treat for yourself to add a touch of originality to your decor.
This expression is often used to describe a balanced approach to life or a leadership style that combines firmness and kindness. It suggests that one can be strong and assertive while also being compassionate and understanding.
That said, "strength and gentleness" represents the idea that a person can be both strong and kind, and that these qualities can complement each other to create a more effective and balanced individual.
Strength is often associated with firmness, determination, perseverance, and assertiveness. These qualities can be very useful in achieving our goals, defending our convictions, and making difficult decisions.
However, strength alone is not always enough. Gentleness, on the other hand, is often associated with kindness, compassion, empathy, and sensitivity. These qualities allow us to understand the needs and feelings of others, to create strong emotional bonds, and to resolve conflicts peacefully.
Thus, the expression "strength and gentleness" invites us to combine these two aspects to create balance in our lives and in our relationships with others. It suggests that we can be strong and assertive when necessary, but that we can also be compassionate and understanding when needed.
It represents a balanced approach to life that allows one to combine the qualities of strength and gentleness to create a more complete, effective and fulfilled individual.
As a decorative piece, this digraph can serve as a reminder of the importance of balance in our daily lives. It can be placed on a desk to inspire thoughtful and compassionate decisions, or in a living room to highlight the importance of open communication and mutual understanding in relationships.
