Design. 3D Printing
Main focus
- Using 3D printing technology to create unique vases and lighting for indoor plants-
What started as a selective course at the university with the aim of learning 3d design on Rhino3d through the design of an Anamorphic illusion ended up being a series of products combining my interest in botany and 3D printing.
The goal of the following projects is to create a unique product that highlights the contrast between the natural and artificial, while also creating an easy to maintain planting for the indoor environment.
Desk Garden
A 20x20x4cm concrete block acts as a growing container for moss.
Accompanied with a light stand that, due to its 120degree lighting, keeps the moss alive but also illuminates the whole desk without being tiresome for the eyes.
Both the light stand and the growing container are made using 3D printing in order to create the mold but also in order to house the electrical components and water reservoir.
A
Terrarium light
A terrarium emulates a small-scale ecosystem within hand reach. Correct lighting and positioning of a terrarium is the main problem in terms of its survivability.
I have created a custom top for a terrarium with integrated led lighting using 3D printing and ceiling lights to maintain the thinness of the top cover, which also has breathing holes that help with the class fogginess allowing a good view into the terrarium at all times.
The Pot
The pot is of two independent pieces, a "Basket" which contains the plant and has draining holes, and the actual pot in which the basket sits, with a space for a reservoir of water.
All pieces including the molds through which the pots have been made were 3d printed.
A concrete pot inspired by traditional bonsai pots with a contemporary spin on it.
