i.materialised a fruit bowl
Mille et une fruits by Mika De Bruijn
I”m fascinated by graphic patterns and geometrical patterns in particular. Also, I was looking for a new item in my interior that could match both the modern style of my furniture and the souvenirs I gathered during my travels to North Africa and the Middle East.
Inspired by the “Honeycomb” fruit bowl in the .MGX collection, I designed my own version in Rhinoceros, incorporating the previously mentioned elements. Since a free form shape like this one is practically impossible to manufacture using conventional techniques, it was great to be able to print it through i.materialise.
-Mika De Bruijn
The Mille et une fruits bowl was 3D printed in polyamide on an Selective Laser Sintering system.
