Saturday, 10 October 2026

Mila

Mila is a series of hydroponic vases for indoor plants. The collection includes three sizes, small, medium and large, to suit different planting needs. The shapes are drawn from the chimneys on the roof of Casa Mila, with twisting lines and surface textures refined into a rhythmic form. Each vase is made of VeroClear translucent material and is produced directly with PolyJet 3D printing, without additional processes. A one-piece double-layer structure lets the outer wall and the inner tank overlap, giving the translucent surface a hazy and layered appearance.

Quintessence Spectrum Series

Spectrum Series is a limited edition of portable table lamps with three-dimensional printed lattice shades. Each lamp is generated by a parametric process, so every silhouette and lattice pattern differs. The shades are printed from recycled PLA using purpose-written machine code, which gives clean and precise lattice lines. The base recalls an old candlestick holder and can be carried by its stem. The battery powered lamp is switched on and dimmed by touching a small knob on the base. Each lamp is produced only once and includes a certificate of authenticity.
