Revolutionizing Floral Art: The Coral Vase

Steve Lee's 3D Printed Masterpiece Wins Golden A' Design Award

Steve Lee's Coral Vase is not just a flower vase; it's a testament to the power of design and innovation. Drawing inspiration from the organic form of coral, the vase consists of eight interconnected stems, each housing a removable test tube for easy water refill. The result is a strong, structurally sound platform for creative floral arrangements.

What sets the Coral Vase apart is its unique manufacturing process. The exterior shell is 3D printed in several pieces using PLA thermoplastic, then assembled to create a continuous surface. Plaster is cast inside the 3D printed shell to add stability and weight. The curvy form of the vase not only mimics the beauty of natural coral but also adds structural strength by distributing the load evenly to the base surface.

Once the plaster is cured, the vases are sent for a polyurethane paint finish, which gives a glossy and protective finish to the final product. This paint protects the vase from thermal deformation or wearing, making it substantially durable. The use of 3D printing technology allows the vases to be manufactured and customized easily in-house with minimal finish processing.

The Coral Vase is a testament to the power of design and innovation. It's not just a flower vase; it's a platform for dynamic floral arrangements, marrying technology and art in a stunning, award-winning creation. The vase has a minimal structural setting to provide a platform for various designs for floral designers to create their artwork and displays.
