Ceramic Shell Candle Holder by Studio Hansen. A beautiful, simple twist on the classic shape.
...and in a variety of glazes and colors.
Waterlily soap dish by unellenu, bringing a hint of nature into your home.
Espresso 1: Twist by Ruben Alexander, already being put to good use.
He shares what inspired him in the forums:
"I was a barista at Starbucks for 4 months and in that short time, my mind was opened to the world of coffee. Since then, I've learned how to make my own coffee roasts and prefer espresso shots to coffee. I read in a shapeways blogpost that doing variations on a basic design fostered creativity, and I decided to give it a try. After getting to the 19th design, I decided to pick the 3 I liked the most and order them. Two arrived 1 week early (printed in NYC?) !! The other I just ordered today. The cups I release reflect my love for geometry and fresh espresso, and allows me to appreciate both passions in an infinite amount of cup designs."
