Gumnut Vase

Printing Potters Gumnut Vase – Sculptural Design Inspired by Native Eucalyptus

A beautiful collision of creativity and code, the Printing Potters Gumnut Vase is inspired by the distinctive form of Australia’s native eucalyptus fruit. The gumnut — a non-edible fruit that bursts with life when the flower blooms — is reimagined here as a sculptural vessel designed to bring the same sense of vitality into your home.

Designed and 3D printed in Melbourne, Australia, this piece is layered with intention and care. Each vase takes approximately 11 hours to print and is made up of 1,010 individual print layers, celebrating the slow, thoughtful process behind its creation.

A custom glass insert is included, allowing the vase to safely hold water for fresh flowers while preserving the integrity of the printed form.
