The Hedgehog is a functional, watertight vase, 3D printed with eco-friendly, degradable PLA bio-plastic (derived from corn starch).
Large size is 20cm (8") high. Small size is 14cm (5.5") high (more suitable for desktops and small side tables). Please refer to the scale photograph provided.
Hedgehog colours:
Silk effect - Copper, Lime, Bronze, Emerald
Standard PLA - Fluro Orange
Galaxy PLA - Midnight Galaxy
Good Vibrations Collection - Warm Rainbow silk gradient
Notes on texture:
SILK PLA is solid colour, light reflecting, with a slightly metallic appearance.
REGULAR PLA has a semi-matte to semi-gloss opaque finish.
GALAXY PLA - shimmery, solid colour.
GRADIENT SILK PLA - the placement of gradient colours in each vase is unique. Photos are examples only. Warm Rainbow (a mix of red, blue, green, purple, gold) produces 1-2 colours in 'small' and 3-4 colours in 'large'. The colour placement cannot be controlled.
3D printing is a craft, not a manufacturing process: slight irregularities are to be expected, making each vase perfectly unique!
Hedgehog Vase
If you've never seen or handled a 3D printed object before, our vases may surprise you. They are incredibly light, weighing between 50 and 200 grams. Here's some important tips for vase care and handling:
* Treat your vase like a handmade object. It is made up of hundreds of individually printed layer lines (not injection moulded).
* To avoid breakage, do not squeeze hard, and avoid dropping (particularly on hard surfaces).
* PLA is not UV resistant, so vases are not recommended for prolonged outdoor use, or placement in very direct or hot sun.
* Half-fill your vase with water, and support from the bottom when lifting to avoid squeezing the vase.
* To clean, rinse between uses with cool water, and drain upside down. Not dishwasher safe.
