Heart Vase

From the side, this vase is pure sculpture: a rounded body wrapped in dozens of fine vertical pleats, cinched at the neck and flaring into a scalloped rim. Then you look down into it and there is the surprise. The opening traces a full heart, hiding in plain sight the whole time. Each vase is 3D printed in PLA+ as one continuous, seamless piece, so it is feather light in the hand and every pleat runs unbroken from base to rim. The ribbed texture catches the light like pressed fabric, especially in the gold finish, which practically glows in afternoon sun. Style it with dried stems, lavender bunches or a single faux bloom, or let it stand alone as a shelf piece. It suits bedside tables, mantels, bookshelves and entry consoles, and you can choose a straight pleat or a gently twisted pleat to suit your style. Printed to order in Australia and usually ready within a day or two. Go silky gold for glamour, candy red or dusty pink for the romantics, or matte white for a calm, minimalist shelf.
