Bottled beauty
The intricately patterned structures can simply be screwed onto everyday half-litre, plastic, water and soft drink bottles, which might otherwise have been thrown away after use.
“Of course, you will not clean the planet by recycling just one bottle, but if you have a chance to reuse one and turn it into a design object, it can be a first step towards environmentally friendly lifestyle,” it states on the Design Libero website.
The fab four
The collection includes four different designs: ‘Spider Vase’ inspired by the arachnid’s form; ‘Sinuous Vase’ with its fluid curves and waves; the classical ‘Lace Vase’ evocative of an Ancient Greek or Roman jug; and ‘Knitted Vase’ with its exquisitely fine details.
“The idea was to create a vase conserving only its silhouette. The vase itself represents an external shell with an inner neck fillet, so it can be screwed onto a bottle like a cap. The 3D printed structure dresses the bottle and makes it disappear under its mesh.”
Purchase or print?
The vases are available on Tessa’s Curated Boutique. You can purchase the item as a digital design (LEO file) that can be 3D printed from anywhere or as a physical 3D printed object produced by compatible service providers and delivered to your door.
