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.

Aitable

Aitable is a dining table supported by three bronze legs. Conventional tables carrying a heavy tabletop require a thick section beneath it. The branching legs of Aitable were shaped with artificial intelligence software that reduces material while maintaining structural performance. Precise 3D printed sand molds were used, and each of the three unique legs was cast in bronze and polished by hand. The polished surfaces create nuanced reflections under changing light. The table measures 1600 by 1000 by 750 millimeters.

Plan Ta

The designer was inspired by his childhood upbringing surrounded by natural plants and building blocks in his room. This sparked the question of whether there was a way to combine the two. By utilizing the unique properties of space filling polyhedrons and 3D printing, the designer was able to find an answer to this question. The solution manifested into Plan Ta, a system of magnetic planter building blocks which not only can hold a variety of indoor plants but can also be used to build and play with.

Polyhedron

The Polyhedron stool is a 3d printed stool that has an interaction of a closing flower. Except for one CNC processed metal component, every part is made through the 3d printer, allowing individuals to produce and reproduce themselves within small amounts (leading to numerous variations). When a flower sets, its petals gather (twirling inside). The ends go up, and the height gets changed. As grabbing its head, rotating the upper part makes pillars move and escalates the stool. The four gears inside convert circular move vertically, making the pillar's end rise.
