DESIGN NAME:
Ribbing

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Vase

INSPIRATION:
Ribbing vase challenges to yield aesthetic expression by combining two contradictory elements: rigidity and flexibility. The Ribbing is inspired from the rib knit, a soft, flimsy and stretchy fabric type. I took this feature and applied it upon the solid form; woven it by metal filament with a 3D printer that simulates a fabric-like surfacing. Ribbing vase presents a refreshing look by fusing the textured appearance, metal materiality and digital manufacturing.
