BRIAR

Briar is our Scottish Rose, a large-scale 3D printed #chandelier that we recently completed in a beautiful refurbished gothic church for @virginhotels in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Briar is inspired by #stonetracery , an old method of crafting ornate, curvilinear window frames in cathedrals. We used #3Dprinting and #parametricdesign to bring this art to the third dimension.

We used a mixture of PLA polylactic acid, a #bioplastic made from fermented sugar, and brass powder, celebrating ancient craft whilst also empowering new ways of circular thinking.
