Vase

03 / 06

A vase built from flat panels that slot together. Rounded fins wrap a simple square vessel, so light passes through layers of frosted pale blue.

Finish

Frosted pale blue, translucent

Process

Sketching, flat-pack parts, 3D printing, rendering with Vizcom

01 — Sketching

Sketchbook studies worked out how flat pieces could interlock into a stable, three-dimensional form.

02 — Making

Each panel was printed flat in translucent blue, then slotted together by hand. No glue, just the joints.

03 — Visualisation

Renders developed with Vizcom tested clear glass against frosted blue and explored close-up detail and new viewpoints.

A second form built on the same idea: four ovals intersecting into a soft, petal-like silhouette.

Materials

Translucent printed panels for the prototype, a frosted pale blue for the final finish, and clear glass explored in render.
