The low-tech cooler is a project I developed with the global design agency, Entreautre. We started with a simple principle inspired by traditional practices: a porous terracotta container filled with water.
Thanks to a ventilation system (WEEE), the airflow in contact with the wet surface allows water to evaporate in order to produce cold air.
To achieve an interesting effect, we sought to increase the wet wall surface in contact with ventilated air as much as possible. Ceramic 3D printing allowed us to test complex volumes such as differential growth. The natural process of differential growth was also a coherent aesthetic to produce a manifesto product in order to share the vision behind the process.
The process
I designed this structure with the software Grasshopper. It's a visual 3D programming language linked to Rhino 3D that allows the achievement of complex and parametric pieces that couldn't be done with traditional CAD programs.
I learned the software by myself to achieve the program in order to print the final shape. This shape came from all the different constraints I was confronted with:
The material: The lining thickness, the porosity.
The method of conception: Height, material volume contained in the printing pipe, printing time, clearance angle.
The metrics of minimal performances: Structure resistance, water volume, surface exchange between ceramic airflow and water.
I worked with Luc Dauphin, a mechanical engineer, and Bastien Pyon, Fablab's CEO, who guided me in dealing with those constraints.
The 3D printing machine is an exclusive machine designed by the Dutch artist, Olivier Van Herpt. The one that we used is the only one that exists outside his studio. It works like a traditional 3D plastic printer, where a piston extrudes the terra-cotta as a thin filament layer by layer.

I finally managed to complete my 3D print and I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way!
Process:
When I first received the model some of supports were still attached to the bottom of the piece so it would not stand flat.
I used a dremel and sandpaper to clean up the piece. After that I cut out a circular piece of wood, painted it with a marker and attached it to the bottom of the model so that it would have a solid base.
Also since I did not have access to a studio at the time to take the pictures, I created a makeshift one in my bedroom.
How it relates to temporary:
I started this project with the idea of digital creation and corruption.
The cycles of corruption and creation within nature are well documented and I wanted to explore how this process can play out digitally. The 3d model of the head was created using cad software and the image was later corrupted via pixel sorting within after effects, much like a plant which sprouts from a seed and is over time corrupted by natural forces such as mold, disease and environment factors.
In the future I hope to create a silicon mold of the print and fill it with fax. I will put a wick inside and melt the sculpture to reveal it's temporary nature.

So I love plants. And I love different kinds of houseplants. But I got hella annoyed not finding anything that fit what I thought would work for aroids and other tropical houseplants and went, "Oh, God, we've got that 3D printer, don't we?"
So I learned to 3D model.
It is very hard.
Anyway, I have another tumblr, and I love navigating tumblr, and was like, hmm, maybe people who grow plants may find them interesting? So I started one for my store. I launched yesterday!
If you don't like planters or don't need them, I plan on releasing nature-themed art pieces and other things too. To keep up with that, you can follow me here on Tumblr or on Instagram (or Facebook, but I'll be on Insta more. And here).
BUT why buy my planters?
Well, you can use them with your nursery pots (see above photo). You can use them with clear pots (see below).
You can use them with grow mediums with varying degrees of success. They're on sale for 25 USD, and there are discounted bundles as well as, I cannot stress it enough, we have FREE US SHIPPING unless you need it, like, in two days, in which case we HAVE to charge. I'm sorry, but them's the rules.
I don't have international shipping right now. My apologies, but duties and international shipping is EXPENSIVE and I am a new baby business, ok, I gotta work my way up to it!
Anyway, I bet people are like, why have a BRAND Tumblr and my question to you is, why NOT? The overlap between planty people and tumblr people is surprisingly big and I want to reach as many people with my ideas/products as I can.
So go ahead and send asks if you like about 3D printing, houseplants, et cetera. I can't wait to talk with you all and plan on posting here lots!
