The Vertex - R, preserved moss terrarium with tessellated sculpture by TerraLiving

"The Vertex - R", ZERO Moss Wall with "Tessellated Obsidian", computer-aided Generated Sculpture in a geometrical glass vessel by TerraLiving.


• • • Design concept & philosophy • • •


Tessellation refers to the process of dividing and rearranging elements to fit together like puzzle pieces. Applying this concept to art allows us to create a tessellated surface from polygonal shapes, then turn that into 3D-printable geometry.


Tessellations span various fields, from computer graphics to nature, such as hexagonal cells found in honeycombs and regular / irregular fractures found on rock surfaces.


Tessellations also serve as the foundations of many of our work, including segmented geometrical arrangements of glass vessels.


By applying a set of tessellation parameters into designing software, our designer can generate unique 3D printed structures that match the aesthetics of the moss wall's contour in "the Vertex".
