Diatom Bowl
Inspired by the intricate geometry of diatoms—microscopic algae known for their symmetrical, silica-based exoskeletons—this bowl translates natural microstructures into a sculptural, functional object. The design features a delicate mesh surface punctuated by radial extrusions and tapered spikes, which transition into structural feet, subtly lifting the bowl off the surface to enhance airflow and create a sense of lightness. This elevation not only adds visual interest but also improves functionality—ideal for storing fruits by allowing ventilation and reducing humidity buildup.
The result is a bio-inspired centerpiece that blurs the line between utility and art, perfectly suited for modern interiors and digitally crafted production.
Layer Lines: Visible layer lines are a natural characteristic of 3D printing and may vary depending on the print settings.
Color Variations: Due to filament manufacturing differences, slight variations in shade or texture may occur.
Minor Surface Artifacts: Small blemishes such as tiny bumps or seams can appear but do not affect functionality or durability.
