Inspired by a traditional technique of weaving and modern technology, string vase is a result of a 3D parametric modelling. The familiar shape of the shell is constructed with thin beams that are essential to support the structure’s weight and balance. The many various patterns are computed by an algorithm, depending on parameters such as hight or width of the vase outline, then 3D printed with nylon powder.
