This pendant exhibits the 5-fold radial symmetry seen in many flowers. It is 3D-printed in nylon and hangs from an 18” sterling silver chain.

The name of the piece comes from the word “actinomorphic” which describes flowers with radial symmetry.

Floraform is inspired by the biomechanics of growing leaves and blooming flowers. Each piece emerges from a computational simulation of differential growth, a surface that grows at different rates in different location. The flowering structures expand fastest along their edges, evolving from simple surfaces to flexuous forms that fill space with curves, folds, and ruffles.
