Our process
Rhizoform makes sculptural 3D-printed planters where root systems and lattice math meet. No glaze, no kiln, no virgin plastic where we can avoid it — just earth-toned bioplastics contoured layer by layer and built to hold living things.
Earth-toned by design
Matte, dense, and warm in the hand — our planters are printed in plant-derived PLA and recycled-content bio-composites. The color comes from the material, not a coating, so it ages gracefully and never chips a glaze. What we can't reuse, we recycle.
Every Rhizoform planter begins as a mathematical surface — a gyroid lattice, a voronoi cage, a fluted spiral. We model structures borrowed from root systems and minimal surfaces, then resolve them into something strong where it needs to be and light where it can be. The contour you trace with your thumb is the same line the printer drew.
There's no mold and no kiln. Each vessel is printed in continuous layers, contour over contour, so the geometry on the screen is the geometry in your hands. Printing to order means we make what's wanted and waste little — no warehouse of unsold inventory cast in a single shape.
We print in plant-derived PLA and recycled-content bio-composites — earth-toned, matte, and dense to the touch. No glaze, no virgin plastic where we can avoid it. Misprints and offcuts go back into the material stream, not the landfill.
Drainage and a matched saucer are part of the form, not an upsell. Care notes ship with every vessel, and every piece arrives in plastic-free protection. A planter that holds growing things should be made thoughtfully too.
