Porous Bracelet (white or black)

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:42:37 -0500

$65.00
Inspired by the complex forms of radiolarians, where intricate pattern is integral to structure, these shapes derive from a simulation of spring meshes which form mirrored catenoid surfaces. We created interactive software to morph, twist, and subdivide each design, transforming a simple mesh to a complex patterned structure.

The final design is built up layer by layer in durable nylon plastic using Selective Laser Sintering, a kind of 3D printing. These forms would be impossible to create by traditional methods.

color:white or black
size:
SMALL 7.2in / 18.2cm inner circumference
MEDIUM 7.8in / 20cm inner circumference, fits most
LARGE 8.5in / 21.5cm inner circumference
