3D printed in Melbourne using sustainable PLA with a signature matte finish in curated colours - lightweight, durable, gift-ready, and uniquely individual with subtle variations inherent to the 3D printing process.

3D Printed Statement Piece with Glass Insert

A collision of creativity and code, the Gumnut Vase plays with the iconic shape of our native eucalyptus seed pod — a rounded, organic silhouette with rhythmical ribbing and gentle curves. Designed and 3D printed in Melbourne from plant‑based material, each vase is a layered work of art, taking over 11 hours and 1,000+ precise print layers to make. The included glass insert means it’s ready for fresh stems, while the sculptural exterior remains beautifully dry and decorative on its own.

Styled here with seasonal blooms and minimal interiors, the Gumnut Vase brings texture, shape and a botanical elegance to shelves, sideboards or bedside tables. Finished in our signature matte palette, it’s at once functional, thoughtful and a design moment in its own right — equally striking whether paired with flowers or standing solo.

Perfect gift: artful home décor for design lovers and plant people alike.

Material

Our products are designed and printed by us in Melbourne, Australia. They are made of Polylactic Acid 3D printing filament (PLA).

PLA is a polymer derived from renewable plant-based material such as corn starch or sugarcane. This bioplastic is leading the way in the next generation of 3D printing material. PLA is biodegradable in industrial settings.

We choose to only print locally to reduce our carbon footprint and choose to only use PLA due to its non-toxic properties and its low temperature production, minimising energy usage.

Are your pots/vases water tight?

Our pieces are 3D printed using premium PLA, a layered material that isn’t naturally watertight. To keep things looking beautiful (and practical), our vases are paired with removable glass inserts for fresh stems.

For pots, simply remove and drain the planter insert (not included) before placing it back inside - easy care, no surprises.

Why 3D printing? How long does it take to print an item?

3D printing allows us to make each piece to order, reducing excess stock and material waste. Every item is created only when it’s needed - considered, efficient, and intentionally made.

Each piece is printed to order, with print times ranging from approximately 2 to 12 hours, depending on the size and design.

Do these make for good gifts?

Absolutely. Every piece arrives boxed and ready to gift.
