3D Printed Vase

Mila

Mila is a series of hydroponic vases for indoor plants. The collection includes three sizes, small, medium and large, to suit different planting needs. The shapes are drawn from the chimneys on the roof of Casa Mila, with twisting lines and surface textures refined into a rhythmic form. Each vase is made of VeroClear translucent material and is produced directly with PolyJet 3D printing, without additional processes. A one-piece double-layer structure lets the outer wall and the inner tank overlap, giving the translucent surface a hazy and layered appearance.

Portable Table Lamp

Quintessence Spectrum Series

Spectrum Series is a limited edition of portable table lamps with three-dimensional printed lattice shades. Each lamp is generated by a parametric process, so every silhouette and lattice pattern differs. The shades are printed from recycled PLA using purpose-written machine code, which gives clean and precise lattice lines. The base recalls an old candlestick holder and can be carried by its stem. The battery powered lamp is switched on and dimmed by touching a small knob on the base. Each lamp is produced only once and includes a certificate of authenticity.

Aitable

Aitable is a dining table supported by three bronze legs. Conventional tables carrying a heavy tabletop require a thick section beneath it. The branching legs of Aitable were shaped with artificial intelligence software that reduces material while maintaining structural performance. Precise 3D printed sand molds were used, and each of the three unique legs was cast in bronze and polished by hand. The polished surfaces create nuanced reflections under changing light. The table measures 1600 by 1000 by 750 millimeters.

eReader

Focus7

Dedao Focus7 is an eReader created for readers who value the feel of a printed book. The frame is made of aluminium alloy shaped by CNC machining, and the anodized surface resists slipping, wear and corrosion. The form recalls a folded page, a familiar gesture used to pause reading. The 7-inch E Ink screen has anti-glare glass and an anti-fingerprint coating. The weight of 210 grams is close to that of a pocket book, and the balanced structure reduces wrist strain. The packaging is ink-free, plastic-free and made of degradable pulp.

Oppo Enco M31

The Oppo Enco M31 is a pair of wireless neckband headphones designed for all-day use. The neckband weighs 22 grams and is made of liquid silicone overmolded around a memory titanium alloy thread, so the shape is retained after bending and the headphones can be folded and stored in a pocket. The earbud housings are made of a polycarbonate composite for strength and low weight. Hidden magnets draw the two earbuds together, which disconnects the paired device automatically and saves power. Ldac audio coding supports up to 12 hours of playtime.
