CORALS BOWLMaterial / Acrylic, Concrete Size / 320*320*200 mm

Design for Corde, London-based company.

Inspired by the corals.

Transform the idea to a series of home-wares, e.g. bowl, tray, side table...Never-theless, we try to create as irregular as possible, just like the nature should be, digital fabrication is the reasonable solution to manufacture it. The process is we fabricate the bowl with

laser cutting piece by piece then making the base with concrete and resin. Not only enhance the structure but design a new combination between acrylic and resin. However, it's a beautiful and innovative product we are working on.
