This thin 1/2in wide cuff features a flexible C-shaped design that fits closely against the wrist. Grown from one end, it has a thick primary structure along the interior surface; hundreds of tiny cells define the rest of its form.

Hyphae is a collection of 3D printed artifacts constructed of rhizome-like networks. Inspired by the vein structures that carry fluids through organisms from the leaves of plants to our own circulatory systems, we created a simulation which uses physical growth principles to build sculptural, organic structures. Starting from an initial seed and a surface, we grow a hierarchical network where nodes constantly branch and merge. The densely interconnected structure is at once airy and strong.
