Clear resin is tinted with pigments, glitter or glow-in-the-dark powder, mixed with crystals and poured into the crevices of natural stone and wood to create one-of-a-kind home furnishings resembling geodes, galaxies or flyover views of the Caribbean. It’s also gorgeous on its own, blended into a rainbow of colors and poured into abstract compositions. These tables, stools, lamps and more demonstrate the qualities that make resin so versatile for all kinds of design projects.

Geode Tables by Colorberry

They look just like the kind of massive agates that would normally command tens of thousands of dollars, but these artistic tables by Stephanie Walberer of Colorberry Studio are actually made using pigments, glitter, stones and resin. The designer mimics the look of real agates as she crafts each composition to create tables, cheese boards, wall hangings and more. “Pouring geode pieces is so calming and, for me, just like meditation,” she says.

Iluka London Wood & Resin Lamps

A collaboration between designer Sarah Webb and graphic artist Daniel Harder, ‘Iluka London’ is a line of handcrafted lighting, furniture and accessories fusing natural objects with modern, man-made materials.The versatility of acrylic and resin proves to be a stunning match for unusual pieces of wood sourced from Australia. The company makes everything from cabinet knobs to large-scale furniture, but their lamps might just be the most stunning of all their offerings.

Treecycled Furniture by Pt. Epos Modern Indonesia

Epos Furniture, a Dutch company based in Indonesia, pairs resin with unexpected natural materials like wood and bamboo. Some of their creations, like the Treasure Island Dining Table and Light Beam Table, even incorporate LED lights to glow from within. Another unusual piece is ‘Filled Tooth,’ a stool made of polished wood and resin full of crystals.

Ink and Wash Series by EY Products

The Ink and Wash series by Chinese design studio EY Products features discarded, irregularly shaped chunks of ebony wood combined with resin to create sleek new objects like coasters, cups, rulers, paperweights and business card holders. “Ebony is considered a very rare and high-end wood on the commercial timber market, often used in the manufacture of musical instruments and fine furniture,” say the designers. “On a factory visit we noticed piles of wood scraps unused and deserted. Upon second look of them, the black and yellow, the irregular shape of each scrap resemble traditional Chinese ink-and-wash paintings. So we decided to save them by transforming them into unique pieces of art.”

20 Reasons To Love Resin These Artistic Home Furnishings Are Clearly Cool

Take DIY home decor to a whole new level with 3D printing, whether you’re just purchasing a pre-printed geometric aquarium ornament or custom-designing an object you just can’t find anywhere else. This small-scale, low-impact manufacturing model makes it easy to produce all sorts of complex items, from lampshades and mini greenhouses to replacement parts for broken objects. Print them yourself if you can, or just browse the thousands of ‘digitally hand-crafted’ 3D-printed products on sites like Shapeways.

Aquarium Flora

‘Waterscapes’ by Haruka Misawa is a series of 3d printed objects inspired by aquatic plant life, intended for use in aquariums for a minimalist look that’s still fun and functional for fish. In addition to sculptural creations mimicking coral, the objects include bubbles of air that fit within the aquariums to make surface-growing aquatic plants the visual centerpiece.

Cityscape Light Bulbs

Cityscapes sprout from the tips of LED light bulbs in the ‘Huddle’ series by designer David Graas, available for purchase at Layers. “Just like the penguins in the Antarctic huddle to survive the extreme cold during the winter time also people have taken on huddling as a strategy for survival. The mega city, despite its many problems, seems to be our destined habitat now that resources are becoming scarce. It also holds the key to a sustainable future with its concentration of information, technology and talent.”

Screw It Vase

A slightly curved, connected collection of twelve universal PET bottle screw tops turns a dozen used plastic bottles into a collective vase, each bottle holding one or two stems of flowers and greenery. You can use bottles of various colors and sizes, as long as the three center bottles supporting the weight of the collective vase are the same size.

Tardigrade Bottle Opener

Anyone who already knows what a tardigrade (aka ‘water bear’) is will love this bottle opener, and the rest just need to watch this video about the strangest creature to ever be sent to outer space. Available in a variety of steel colors at Shapeways, it’s definitely an unusual item to have in your house.

Flexible Mini Greenhouse Dome

Got access to your own 3D printer, or a shared one? Try your hand at building some of the thousands of items that have been made available online in the form of printable STL files. This one will print out a kit of parts to build a flexible mini greenhouse dome with a geometric pot, perfect for seed starting.

High Tech Diy Decor 15 3d Printed Home Accessories

Display your own little corner of your favorite city – or the entire metropolis of Manhattan – on your wall or table, scaled down to 1:5000 and simplified in white monochrome. ‘Microscapes’ are 3D-printed tiles developed from up-to-date aerial scale data so they can evolve along with built environments, including buildings still under construction or in planning phases. The designers are kicking off their campaign with New York City and will expand to other major cities across the United States and the world once their Kickstarter campaign is complete.

The entire island of Manhattan is available in the form of individual, 6” square tiles, but to collect all 200, it would cost you a rather shocking $25,000. But early backers on the campaign can get a single tile of their choice, featuring some of Manhattan’s most popular locations, for a pledge of $65 or more. Each tile captures roughly half a square mile of the city.

The tiles are made from biodegradable, non-toxic white thermoplastic derived from cornstarch and range in height according to whatever section of the city you’ve chosen, up to 5.5 inches tall for the highest skyscrapers. The campaign is already generously over-funded, but you’ve still got a little bit of time left to snag a pre-order of your own.

A billionaire who’s really into magnets could fill his entire home with levitating objects, from a bed platform that costs nearly two million dollars down to his clothes hangers, houseplants, lamps, computer mouse and even salt and pepper shakers. While some of these designs are utterly lacking in practicality, others make up for it in fun.

Floating Bed

Tethered to its base with steel cables, a heavy slab of wood levitates in midair, clearly unsupported. Sold as an ‘art piece,’ which appears to be an implicit acknowledgement that few people will ever actually have this thing in their homes, the Floating Bed fittingly debuted at the Belgium ‘Millionaire Fair.” It uses the power of permanent opposing industrial-strength magnets and can hold 900 kilograms (1984 pounds) of weight. A smaller fifth-scale version can be used as a table. Truly a toy for billionaires, the bed version will set you back $1.75 million.

Air Bonsai

Everything about this little potted plant looks like an ordinary bonsai – except the fact that the tree is actually floating. Hidden inside the pot and moss ball are two powerful magnets that literally levitate the entire plant above the ‘energy base.’ No optical illusions here. Currently raising funds on Kickstarter, the project is called ‘Air Bonsai’ and comes in a range of pots, with plants to be procured locally.

Hovering Computer Mouse

Designed to relieve pressure on the median nerve of the wrist to prevent injuries like carpal tunnel, The Bat is a levitating computer mouse that hovers 40 millimeters above the pad when not in use, or 10 millimeters with the pressure of your hand. The design was supposed to be released a few years ago after a period of testing, and since that never happened, it seems unlikely it’ll ever be for sale, but it’s an interesting prototype.

FLOAT Table

Push on this Rubik’s cube-like arrangement of wooden blocks and it’ll give slightly and then bounce back, each individual cube separated from its neighbors by an inch or so of space. The tiny steel cables that can be seen between them aren’t holding them up – they’re keeping the whole thing together. The walnut blocks of the Float Table by RockPaper Robot are, of course, embedded with magnets to produce this cool-looking effect. “Each handcrafted table is precisely tuned to seem rigid and stable, yet a touch reveals the secret to Float’s dynamic character.”

Cliq Magnetic Clothes Hangers

When you need a specific garment, just tug gently on the Cliq hanger by Flow Design, which is magnetically held to any metal clothes bar. Replacing the hooks with strong earth magnets, the hangers each support up to two kilograms of weight and can also be used underneath larger metal surfaces like shelves.
