Stria

Description

Stria Modern 3D Printed Design Vase

Stria evokes the upward movement of a flame, translating its fluid energy into a sculptural form. Its elongated, asymmetrical silhouette rises from a rounded lower body toward a narrow opening, creating a sense of motion held in stillness.

Sweeping ribbed sections meet broad, smooth curves, giving the surface a distinctive contrast. Light traces the raised lines and spreads across the quieter areas, revealing the depth and changing contours of the vase.

 Design Philosophy

The Quiet Energy of Fire

Stria explores the balance between intensity and restraint. Its flame like profile suggests movement and transformation, while its flowing contours bring softness to the overall composition.

The contrast between closely spaced ribs and open, smooth surfaces is central to its character. One creates rhythm; the other gives the eye a place to rest. Together, they form an expressive object that brings energy into a space without overwhelming it.

Production Process

The Art of Layers, From Digital Design to Reality

Stria is created using additive manufacturing technology, commonly known as 3D printing. Its digital design takes shape layer by layer, gradually forming the asymmetrical body, sweeping surface lines, and transitions between ribbed and untextured sections.

This process connects the larger sculptural form with the finer details of the surface. Subtle printing layers remain part of the object’s material character, bringing digital geometry into a tangible, tactile form.

Key Features

• Flame-like silhouette: An elongated, tapering form evokes upward movement
• Asymmetrical contours: Shifting curves reveal a different composition from each angle
• Contrasting surface details: Ribbed sections meet smooth areas for visual and tactile variety
• Expressive light and shadow: Raised lines and broad curves create different patterns of illumination
• Digitally crafted form: Layer-by-layer production unites sculptural geometry with fine surface detail

Application

The elongated shape of Stria creates an appealing contrast in height when placed beside lower objects, such as stacked books or a decorative bowl. A simple backdrop allows its asymmetrical curves and contrasting smooth and ribbed surfaces to stand out.

A few dried stems or a slender decorative branch extend the upward lines of the vase, complementing its shape without concealing the details beneath a full bouquet.
