Geo-Planter
2025
Summer
A series of 3D-printed planters inspired by natural variation. Each piece was generated with geometry nodes, producing unique forms that still belong to the same family.
The Idea
This project was inspired by the way natural forms can be both familiar and endlessly unique. Tree bark, coral reefs, and feathers all carry this quality. Each piece is instantly recognizable, yet no two are ever the same.
I wanted to bring that balance into a series of planters. The goal was to create objects that belong to one family while remaining distinct as individual pieces.
The Creation
The forms were built in Blender using geometry nodes. The system introduced controlled randomness, so every adjustment generated a new variation while still staying within the same overall language.
From there, individual planters were exported and prepared for 3D printing. The workflow allowed me to create a series where no two were alike, but all felt related.
The Tools
Geometry nodes in Blender generated the forms, giving me endless variations to choose from. Once exported, they were prepared for 3D printing in PETG.
The planters were printed at home in four colors, with each print tuned for clean surfaces and durability. This combination of digital design and fabrication made it possible to produce a unique series entirely in-house.
The Final Product
The final collection consists of planters in four colors, each carrying its own unique rippling pattern. The series shows how variation can exist within a shared form, echoing the natural inspiration that started the project.
Like bark on a tree, the pieces are both individual and connected. The result is a set of objects that feel consistent as a group while remaining one of a kind.
