Guastalla is a 3D printed clay vase, inspired by the nursery school “The Whale” in Guastalla, Reggio Emilia – Italy. The body of the vase recalls the sinuous shapes of the school and is created by rotating and vertically translating the cross section of the building. 3D clay printing is a completely innovative. The shapes are created layer by layer through the LDM process. The clay is then subjected to an opaque black crystalline finish which gives it the final colour and protects the material, making it also suitable for contact with food.
