Rhizome Cuff

This 2in wide cuff is truly a bold accessory! It features a flexible C-shaped design that fits closely against the wrist. It was grown from 4 separate root points which gradually intertwined into a single network.watch the video to see how it was created!

Hyphae is a collection of 3D printed artifacts constructed of rhizome-like networks. Inspired by the vein structures that carry fluids through organisms from the leaves of plants to our own circulatory systems, we created a simulation which uses physical growth principles to build sculptural, organic structures. Starting from an initial seed and a surface, we grow a hierarchical network where nodes constantly branch and merge. The densely interconnected structure is at once airy and strong.
