About Ribbing फूलदानी
रिबिङ फूलहरू सजाउनका लागि र स्वतन्त्र मूर्तिकला वस्तुको रूपमा प्रयोग गर्न डिजाइन गरिएको फूलदानी हो। ठाडो घुमेका धर्काहरू घुमाउरो शरीरभर फैलिएका छन्, र तिनको आकृति बदलिँदो स्वरूपअनुसार परिवर्तन हुँदै जान्छ। बुनिएको जस्तो देखिने यो बनावट धातुयुक्त फिलामेन्ट प्रयोग गरी थ्री-डी प्रिन्टरबाट उत्पादन गरिएको हो। भित्र निकाल्न मिल्ने गिलासको इन्सर्टले पानी थाम्छ र यसलाई धोउन वा फेर्न सकिन्छ। रिबिङ भित्री र बाहिरी दुवै वातावरणमा उपयुक्त हुन्छ। आर्द्र वातावरणमा समयसँगै राखिँदा, सतहमा बिस्तारै खिया लागेको पर्तको आभा देखिन थाल्छ, जसले बाहिरी सतहमा थप सूक्ष्मता थप्छ।

- Unique Properties
- Ribbing vase as a floral display medium also speaks for itself with binary visual language in any spatial setting. Its vertical ribs pattern change their contour as they adapt along the curvy shapes, creating a constant momentum on a solid surface. The woven look of the ribbing vase is made out of metal filament and manufactured with a 3D printer. When exposed outdoors over time, a rusted patina will slowly appear on the surface, also known as oxidizing, adding some nuances on the exterior layer that almost resemble a rusty sculpture.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Large Vase: 140mm,167mm. Small Vase: 90mm, 102mm. Material: copper, iron and brass.

- Production Technology
- In order to manufacture ribbing vases with high-quality production, waste reduction and cost efficiency, I adapted the use of 3D printers and computational software, Grasshopper. After several rounds of testing, I figured out using default slicer software to generate G-code for print is inefficient. Instead, by utilizing G-code directly in Grasshopper allows me to fully control the 3D printer and optimize the production. More specifically, the scripted data transforming my design into a series of curves and paths have turned into the assigned route of the 3D printer. As for the material used, ribbing was made from metal-filled filament, HTPLA.
- Design Challenge
- The making process attains zero waste, zero emission, fully sustainable and self-reliant action by implementing additive manufacturing technology into our production pipeline. Ribbing vases need to fit in 3D printers without any support material and can be manufactured on a small scale by consumer-driven 3D printers. We would also love to support regional markets by manufacturing our products locally. Thus, the ribbing vase was fully designed, manufactured, and assembled in Brooklyn, New York.
- Research
- This project explores a new relationship between vases and plants. People normally think flowers come before vases, and vases seem to be pointless when the plants are gone . My research aims to reverse this vector through designing a vase with inherent voice and sculptural expression. Balancing rigidity and flexibility of the form is the key to achieve the desirable outputs, flipping the general perception of floral decor objects. Ribbing vase presents a feasible option to prove the knit-looking contour can also be made out of metal.
- Inspiration
- Ribbing vase challenges to yield aesthetic expression by combining two contradictory elements: rigidity and flexibility. The Ribbing is inspired from the rib knit, a soft, flimsy and stretchy fabric type. I took this feature and applied it upon the solid form; woven it by metal filament with a 3D printer that simulates a fabric-like surfacing. Ribbing vase presents a refreshing look by fusing the textured appearance, metal materiality and digital manufacturing.
- Project Duration
- The Ribbing started in April 2020 and finished in January 2021. Design and manufactured in Brooklyn, NY.
- Operation Flow
- Ribbing vase served as both flower container and diffuser. Users can easily remove the inserted glass piece from the vase to either wash or replace. Ribbing vase itself can fit into both indoor or outdoor environments as a static decor object. If the user prefers the rusted texture, it can be placed in a moisture environment over time as oxidized rust and patina slowly appear on the surface naturally.
