Unfinished Never Looked So Finished

Posted on by

After working on many 3D-printed prototypes, designer Kazuya Koike sought out to finally create a truly usable product that could be mass produced with the same 3D tech. The result is this unique twist on the decor, dubbed the ‘Unfinished Vase.’

The minimalistic design features a uniform aesthetic in tonal blue and rose colors. It earns its namesake for the missing wedge at the base that leaves a vessel for water exposed yet easily accessible. Simply place your favorite flower clipping or other stemmed plants in the narrow spout and add water through the cut-out wedge. Turn it to hide the exposed section or leave its conversation-starting aesthetic on display.

Designer: Kazuya Koike

“The 3D printer I used to create this vase was by stacking the material a bit by bit from the bottom. So all starts from the very bottom and the glass plate/cup is inserted it (by my hand) while the process of this stacking job, and then it will be all completed when the flower inlet has built,” Koike explained.

“After several times of trials and errors, I reached to the idea of warming the glass plate up before it inserts not to make the material deformed in the process,” Koike continued.

A Vase with Added Character

Posted on by

sparrow_vase_layout_2

This beautifully crafted and elegantly designed Vase is the Sparrow X Vase from Haoshi Design. Interrupting the imperfection-free body of the vase are two intricately detailed and inquisitive looking Sparrows, that subtly protrude out from their homes.

The immense detail of the characterful birds strikingly contrasts against the concise and simplistic form of the Vase, this is only enhanced by the pure, white-marble texture that completes the refined finish. Not only do the distinctive birds add a welcomed element of visual interest and individuality, but they also delightfully complement the naturalness of the flowers that are contained with the vessel.

This bottle is your ultimate all-in-one kitchen tool!

Posted on by

While it occupies the exact footprint of a wine bottle on your kitchen shelf, the Bin 8 is actually pretty much all the kitchen accessories you need, combined into one ‘Swiss Army Bottle’ of sorts. A prime example of utilitarian, artistic, and thoughtful Japanese design, the Bin 8 is a combination of eight kitchen tools stacked one upon the other, made to look like a wine bottle. The bottle’s spout acts as a funnel, and its base, a measuring cup. Sitting in between these two are a citrus juicer, a spice grater, cheese grater, yolk separater, egg masher, and a jar-opening silicone ring.

Stacked together, the Bin 8 occupies much less space than each of those items would individually, and does so with a certain flair that you’d probably use the words “innovative” and “brilliant” to describe. I know I would!

This vase is TWO adorable!

The two way pot is actually more than just a two way pot. It’s also a really pretty vase. Designed as an item with functional properties as well as decorative abilities, the two way pot has two spouts. One for pouring, the other for sprinkling. A clever instance of design intervention also makes it a vase. So you don’t need to empty all the water you fill in. You also don’t need to hide the sprinkler in your garden shed. It can sit atop your windowsill too, looking pretty as ever!

Watch a Vase Get Made from 256 Crayons

Posted on by

There’s something so cool and soothing about seeing a melted brick of crayons being made into a vase on a lathe. The swirling colors as it turns, combined with the colorful bits of wax flying everywhere is just so cool. It is a great way that adults can still play with crayons. Plus it makes a huge mess, and what adult kid doesn’t love that?

In fact it makes such a mess that you have to cover your floor, yourself, and all of your tools, because if you don’t, everything is going to be covered in colored wax. But you are going to have an awesome and colorful vase afterwards; one that will be waterproof even if it will melt on a super hot day, but who cares?

Check out Peter Brown’s messy and marvelous craft project in the clip below:

I’d like to try this myself one day.

Ancient Architecture-Inspired Vases

Posted on by

Babilus is inspired by the architecture of ancient cities, temples and altars, resonating human kind’s aspiration for verticality. As a series, the vessels illustrate an ancient city’s skyline, while each one stands alone as a functional product with a powerful presence that strikes the imagination. The series comes in 4 different sizes: a vase for a single flower, for a bouquet, or for a small plant. Each combines natural materials like bamboo and chipboard with Corean manipulated to resemble stone. Built layer by layer, the resulting character has a raw, rich and vivid texture.

Unique and Unexpected Light Objects

Posted on by

The CREVICE collection of ceramic interior lighting objects combines authentic pottery casting with a modern aesthetic that comes alive at night. Consisting of a vase, fruit bowl and simple table lamp, each contains hidden internal LEDS that reflect off a glossy white interior. The resulting illusion emanates from within and can further be controlled in brightness and color via a touchscreen remote control. In glossy or matte black, the exterior is hidden at night to highlight the internal color space.

Surprising Material Bonding

Posted on by

Designer Einat Kirschner’s experimentation with techniques to combine metal powders and ceramics found similarities in their processing methods and heating temperatures which allowed for the creation of fascinating, otherworldly forms without the use of adhesives! The material combination, dubbed CeraMetal, might appear delicate, but its incredibly strong, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Iron powder and copper powder versions give each design a one-of-a-kind aesthetic with varied hues and organic shapes.

One-Of-A-Kind Web Of Plastic Caps Turns Bottles Into Fancy Vase

Posted on by

vase-2

As the technology matures, we’re starting to see an increase in 3D printed products hitting the market. It’s usually stuff you wouldn’t normally find in a store, but since these things don’t exist until you order the, they don’t take up valuable shelf or storage space. That’s how the Screw You Vase came into existence. It’s a matrix of 12 PET plastic bottle caps that accommodate standard bottles. The caps have a hole at the top, so once you’ve inserted your bottles, filled them with water and popped a flower in each, you’ve got yourself a unique vase that none of your friends is likely to have. Granted, you’re going to have to spend a pretty penny to get this, $150 to be exact, but we suppose that’s what happens with a time-consuming process like 3D printing.
