Tetrabrick Vase is a minimalist decorative piece inspired by the familiar shape of a milk carton, reinterpreted as a small indoor garden.

The design plays with the idea of everyday packaging, transforming it into a clean and architectural object where flowers emerge naturally from the top opening. This simple gesture creates a strong visual contrast between the industrial form and the organic presence of plants, making it a subtle but eye-catching piece for any space.

There are two functional versions of the design. The closed version works as a dry vase, ideal for dried flowers or decorative stems, keeping the object fully self-contained. The open-bottom version is designed to fit over a glass of water placed inside, allowing you to use fresh flowers without worrying about watertight printing. This dual approach makes the design versatile while keeping the geometry minimal and efficient.

Compact, easy to print, and visually familiar yet unexpected, Tetrabrick Vase turns a common object into a playful and functional design piece.

How to Print

The model is very easy to print and does not require supports.

Use a layer height of around 0.20 mm or higher for faster prints. The model is already hollow, so instead of vase mode, use standard settings and cover the full thickness using wall lines to ensure proper strength.

A fuzzy skin finish is recommended to enhance the texture and give it a more tactile, carton-like surface.

Print in standard orientation with the base on the build plate. Both versions are optimized for clean printing without additional complications.

Once printed, simply use the version that fits your needs:

• Closed version for dry flowers
• Open-bottom version to place over a glass with water inside
