Design Shanghai showcases some of the most cutting edge design “created” and not just “made” in China. Zai Ye Design, a cutting edge working platform for independent designers, launched a new collection of 3D printed resin vases created with 3D City.

Zai Ye Design founders Yangchen and Siyuan Zhanf took inpiration by pot-bellied and conical vases, from here they abstracted the rounded volumes into a linear profiles. The designers then 3D printed a mould of resin to give shape to a minimal collection. The result is a light, almost graphic, design that refers to the original volume of the vase as much as a sketch would do on a sheet of paper.
