The Fiasco vase is an abstraction and modern interpretation of the “Fiasco”, a traditional Italian style wine bottle still used today by Chianti wine. Its characterised by a large rounded lower body which is enveloped by a similarly shaped wicker covering. These characteristics have been reinterpreted by pushing the boundaries of the design possibilities of 3D Printing techniques. By entirely manually coding the toolpath of the printer, it was possible to craft a texture of extrusions of the material reminiscent of the weaving patterns of the wicker covering of the traditional bottle. The Fiasco vase encapsulates the blend of modern and traditional design through the use of innovative technologies.
