About this piece

The Wave Vase is drawn as one continuous curve and printed as one continuous motion. There is no seam to hide, so the 18 hours it spends on the print bed stay legible in the finished piece: fine horizontal lines that catch raking light and disappear in flat light.

The rim is the only part we touch afterwards. It is sanded by hand until the edge feels held rather than cut, which is the difference between an object you keep on a shelf and one you keep picking up.

Like every vessel we print, it is porous along the layer lines. Dried stems, branches and grasses sit in it directly. For cut flowers, drop a glass tube or jar inside — the vase becomes the sleeve and the water never touches the print.

Where it sits

A hallway console where it can be seen from two sides
A shelf with room above it, so the curve has somewhere to go
Beside a lamp, where the layer lines pick up the light

Wave Vase questions

Can the Wave Vase hold water?

Not directly. PLA prints are porous along the layer lines, so standing water can seep over time. Use a glass tube or small jar inside the vase as a liner, or keep it to dried stems.

How long does the Wave Vase take to make?

About 18 hours on the print bed, plus hand-finishing on the rim. It is printed after you order rather than pulled from stock, so we write to you when it leaves the bed.
