Vellus
Hairline flutes that read as velvet until the light moves.
$56
A tabletop vessel combed top to bottom in fine vertical hairline flutes — ridges so close they soften into a napped, suede-like surface that shifts from matte to sheen as you turn it. The tight pitch hides every layer line and gives fingertips something to read. Straight walls leave a spider plant room to throw runners over the rim; a recessed drainage hole and a press-fit catch saucer keep the desk dry.
- Dimensions
- H 145mm × Ø 150mm. Single recessed central drainage hole with a press-fit matching catch saucer.
- Plant pairing
- Spider plant — its arching blades and dangling plantlets echo the vertical grain and spill over the rim without crowding the surface.
- Materials
- Matte PLA, Recycled PETG, Wood-Fill PLA
Vellus is the Latin for down — the fine, near-invisible hair on skin and new leaves. We chased that texture in geometry: flutes pitched as fine as the slicer and nozzle will hold, so the wall stops looking printed and starts looking grown. Light does the rest, raking the ridges into a soft vertical grain.
